The government of Shanghai, China, will streamline international data transfer approvals to spur economic improvements, Reuters reports. The fast-track approval initiative is aimed at certain multinational companies and their ability to move their Chinese data out of the country. The new approval system will reportedly be exclusive to Shanghai while businesses in other parts of the country will follow transfer rules enforced by the Cyberspace Administration of China.
