Contextualising China’s new regulatory cycle

Since late 2020, China has stepped up enforcement actions and released rafts of new regulations targeting internet platform companies, shaking up the once lightly regulated sector. How should firms revise their strategies in this period of regulatory tightening?

In-conversation with Ming Liao, Partner, Prospect Avenue Capital, and Marissa Lee, Senior Associate, Global Counsel to discuss China's regulatory action.

They discussed:

• Why is China making internet platform companies the target of its regulatory priorities now?
   
• How can companies and investors navigate China’s evolving data security regime?
   
• As China rebalances its national priorities, what other sectors might be targets for increased regulatory scrutiny?
