China Agrees to Clarify Cross-Border Data Transfer Rules, EU President Says

What’s new: China has expressed to the European Commission its willingness to set up a mechanism to clarify rules on cross-border data transfers, the bloc’s president said, as ambiguities have caused headaches for companies from member states operating in the country.

Ursula von der Leyen made the remarks at a press conference earlier this week as she was wrapping up her visit to Beijing for the first face-to-face gathering of Chinese and EU leaders in four years.
