Helping the high-quality development of the digital economy, Beijing takes the lead in realizing the safe and convenient cross-border flow of data.

　　Data leaving the country is a bit strange at first glance, but it is actually closely related to everyone’s life-for example, buying a foreign brand car needs to be repaired if it breaks down; When you buy imported goods on the e-commerce platform, you need to register your personal information … These things around you are generating cross-border flows of data. Multinational enterprises, Internet companies and other daily work needs of data interaction.

　　Cross-border data flow is an important part of the digital economy. Combining the task of "two districts" construction, Beijing takes digital trade and data exit as a breakthrough, actively explores socialized services for data security and compliance, promotes international cooperation in the digital field, strives to improve the efficiency of data exit, helps the high-quality development of the digital economy, and takes the lead in realizing the safe and convenient flow of data across borders.

　　The data exit system took the lead in Beijing

　　On September 1, 2022, the National Internet Information Office officially implemented the Measures for Data Exit Security Assessment, and established the implementation mechanism of China’s data exit security assessment system. Since then, there have been rules for enterprises to carry out data exit security assessment.

　　In the cross-border flow of data, Beijing strives to be the experimental field of rules and the pioneer of exploring the road. Under the guidance of the National Network Information Office, the Municipal Network Information Office selected typical enterprises with urgent need for data exit in this city, carried out a trial of the national data exit assessment system, and promoted key enterprises in five industries, namely social media, medical care, finance, automobile and civil aviation, to complete the self-assessment of data exit risk. The five data exit assessment projects declared by Beijing became the first batch of data exit security assessment cases accepted by the National Network Information Office.

　　In addition, the data exit projects of Beijing Friendship Hospital and Air China China were approved as the first two cases of data compliance exit in China; Novartis Chengxin became the first enterprise in China to realize the compliance of personal information leaving the country by concluding a standard contract. All these indicate that the national data exit security assessment system and the personal information exit standard contract filing system have taken the lead in Beijing.

　　Up to now, 117 enterprises and institutions in Beijing have formally submitted data exit security assessment application materials, including Xiaomi, Lenovo, JD.COM, Meituan, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Apple and other well-known domestic and international enterprises. Among them, applications for data exit security assessment of 45 units including Audi, Samsung China and GlaxoSmithKline have been accepted by the National Network Information Office; 39 units including Schneider Electric, Swiss Re and FedEx were approved to pass the safety assessment.

　　In addition, Beijing has also strengthened international cooperation in the digital field and promoted cross-border data flow by building an international information industry and a digital trading port. Singapore is one of the founding countries of the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement. Beijing has strengthened its digital economy cooperation with Singapore, taking the digitalization of trade as a breakthrough and trying to connect mechanisms and chains. With the arrival of canned food containers exported by COFCO Industrial Food Import & Export Co., Ltd. to Yifeng Company in Singapore, the first distributed, full-link, visual tracking pilot project between China and Singapore landed.

　　The first public service platform in the city provides professional guidance.

　　Enterprise R&D, after-sales and global management all need data flow, and the personal information and data security involved in these data need to be protected. How to balance them?

　　Under the guidance of Beijing Netcom Office, the Airport Economic Zone (Daxing) Management Committee of Daxing International Airport and professional institutions, universities and research institutes jointly established the data cross-border service center of Beijing Pilot Free Trade Zone (Daxing) to jointly explore the application path of Beijing’s data cross-border compliance technology and services, and built and launched the city’s first public service platform for data security and governance to promote the implementation of Beijing’s data cross-border flow facilitation services.

　　In the last few weeks of 2023, Zhang Teng, the chief expert and senior engineer of the service center, was busy with such a thing: to cooperate with the Municipal Network Information Office to create a "green channel" for data exit of multinational pharmaceutical companies, and strive to achieve data compliance in pharmacovigilance and drug clinical trials. Breakthrough.

　　Zhang Teng explained that pharmacovigilance refers to the adverse reactions after taking drugs, and patients can directly find the contact information of pharmaceutical companies from the instructions and report to them. However, the research and development of multinational pharmaceutical companies is completed abroad, so it is necessary to summarize these adverse reactions to the R&D team to continuously improve the precautions in the instructions. In the experimental stage of drug research and development, there are some subjects’ information, which is related to personal important life and health data. This data needs to leave the country, but it is sensitive and needs desensitization, and it also needs personal authorization and consent.

　　"So, how to make pharmaceutical companies comply as soon as possible, this responsibility falls to our service center." Zhang Teng said that in order to create a green channel for the top five multinational pharmaceutical companies in the world, it took about three weeks to complete the legality analysis of the main outbound scene data of pharmaceutical companies. When they went deep into the enterprise, they found that the data security of pharmaceutical companies did a good job, but there was a certain difference with the understanding of the regulatory authorities in the specific compliance scale, so they needed to help the entire pharmaceutical industry to get through the compliance path.

　　Up to now, the service center has served nearly 100 kinds of complex data outbound business scenarios of more than 40 enterprises in 7 provinces and cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, and formed the first case of compliance outbound in China in the fields of artificial intelligence, cross-border clearing and credit inquiry.

　　Gradually form an industrial ecosystem characterized by digital trade.

　　Data exit work still needs to be continuously improved and promoted. It is reported that in the next step, the Municipal Network Information Office will support relevant departments with strong willingness and good data security management foundation, further strengthen the innovative practice in data cross-border compliance services, and promote the core industries with cross-border data flow needs in key areas to accelerate the gathering of service centers, form an industrial ecosystem characterized by digital trade, and accelerate the release of the industrial vitality of the digital economy.

　　Daxing Airport Airport Airport Area will also continue to provide policy support for data exit compliance. On the one hand, according to the special support policies that have been issued, support the development of data compliance service industry and promote the gathering of such enterprises in Daxing Airport Area; At the same time, "data compliance vouchers" will be issued to encourage enterprises to carry out related work through service centers to achieve data exit compliance with high efficiency and high quality. In addition, in line with the policy spirit of "Regulations on Standardizing and Promoting the Cross-border Flow of Data (Draft for Comment)" issued by the national network information department, the airport-adjacent area of Daxing Airport is compiling the management measures for cross-border facilitation of data in Daxing Free Trade Zone and the related data list, so as to create an international data port with safe, convenient and orderly cross-border flow of data and vigorous development of digital trade.
