Gastón Fernández (Associate), Hogan Lovells, Beijing, PRC, contributed this entry While personal data privacy law has been developing in many jurisdictions with the increasing prevalence of internet usage, the People’s Republic of China has not yet enacted comprehensive laws or regulations governing the collection, use and transfer of personal data.
