ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

Whilst issues relating to the interaction and relationship between privacy, data protection, and competition law have been much discussed in the past few years, to date, there has been little consideration of how such issues might play out in China. This presentation is a preliminary exploration of how these issues might be understood and developed in China. In particular, it examines the legal, institutional, and governance framework surrounding privacy and data protection in China and considers how competition law fits into this broader picture.
