PIPL violations can cost millions. We help multinationals navigate China's data protection laws, CAC security assessments, and export controls—before regulators come knocking.
China's regulatory landscape is evolving rapidly. Here's what we hear from clients every day.
If you're transferring personal data of 1M+ Chinese users abroad, or any "important data"—probably yes. The threshold is lower than most think.
Under PIPL, cross-border transfers require legal basis: CAC assessment, standard contractual clauses, or certification. "We've always done it this way" isn't one of them.
If your technology has dual-use potential (AI, semiconductors, encryption, biotech), China's export control regime may apply—even for internal transfers.
Fines up to ¥50M or 5% of annual revenue. Business suspension. Personal liability for executives. And the reputational damage is permanent.
We don't just tell you what the law says. We help you actually comply with it.
Mandatory for cross-border transfers of sensitive data. We handle the entire filing process.
Build a defensible privacy compliance framework for your China operations.
