Abstract

The arrival of the big data era has made most countries realize the importance of data resources for economic development. On the one hand, data flow promotes trade between countries, and on the other hand, the rapid expansion of the scale of multinational business giants has led to a proliferation of incidents of illegal collection and utilization of user privacy, putting national security at risk.In 2019, WTO members of the e-commerce negotiations put forward proposals for cross-border data flow based on their own positions, and major countries such as China, the United States, Russia and other major countries have all put forward different proposals.It can be seen that data flow regulation has become a key topic in the international arena nowadays, with sufficient necessity and practical significance. As a result, this paper adopts the comparative analysis method, normative analysis method and other research methods to analyze the issue and make suggestions on the direction of China's legislation.
