Abstract

Along with the booming development of data economy, the competition for data resources among countries has become increasingly white-hot. As a new business model, cross-border data flow has been widely used in various fields around the world; While bringing great economic benefits, it also draws the attention of countries to cybersecurity and data sovereignty protection. This paper takes the regulation of cross-border data flow in the WTO framework as an entry point, analyzes the legitimacy of China’s data localization measures, and draws a strategic direction that China’s data development should adhere to, so as to promote the safe and orderly flow of data in China while breaking the dominant position of the United States and Europe in data competition, and to provide China’s solutions for international data governance.
