Introducing China’s New Privacy Law: PIPL

Recently, the National People’s Congress of China adopted the world’s newest comprehensive privacy law — the Personal Information Protection Law. The PIPL isn’t just any other new privacy law, as China is unlike any other country. The world’s second largest economy, China is a superpower in technology and global trade with strength in tech infrastructure and components, AI and online platforms.

Who needs to appoint a local representative and who is best placed to fill that role? IAPP Chief Knowledge Officer Omer Tene and Rui Bai Law Firm Head of Corporate Barbara Li discuss these questions and more. Watch the full recording on LinkedIn.
