Abstract

In China, there is no unified data protection law similar to the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As a result, there are many different relevant regulations. Among other things, this makes enforcement and comprehension more difficult. To alleviate this problem and assess the comprehensiveness of Chinese data protection, this article uses the GDPR as a frame to organise and systematise the most important Chinese regulations. Binding and non-binding as well as enacted and draft provisions are included to show the dynamic progress and the general direction of Chinese law. While from a European data protection perspective there still are numerous deficiencies, the general development is positive.
