Cyber security and data protection are becoming increasingly important in the context of doing business in China. Legislators are working at full speed to enact numerous laws, ordinances and regulations. In practice, the authorities are strictly implementing these regulations.
In July 2021, the Chinese digital regulator “Cyberspace Administration of China” (CAC) launched a cyber security audit against the ride service provider “Didi” in China. On July 21, 2022, the CAC came to an initial conclusion. On its website, the CAC publishes a sizeable fine against Didi: the penalty is based on laws such as the Cyber Security Law (CSL), the Data Security Law (DSL) and the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL). Didi was fined RMB 8,026 billion (approximately EUR 1.16 billion) and two executives of Didi were fined RMB 1 million (approximately EUR 150,000) each.
