ABSTRACT

The Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) Agreement is a free trade agreement made by Asia-Pacific countries. China has been actively seeking to join the agreement since it came into effect in 2018. However, there is a conflict between the existing domestic legal norms in China and CPTPP provisions in the regulation of the flowing cross-border data, resulting in problems such as unclear classification standards, hindering the implementation of the process, and conservative legislative value orientation that does not conform to CPTPP's purpose of encouraging free data flow. Based on this, from three levels of legislation, law enforcement and judicature, this paper analyzes the legal regulation problems of the flowing cross-border data after China's entry into CPTPP and puts forward corresponding solutions.
