Shanghai municipal government office issued the Digital Shanghai 15th Five-Year
Plan, calling to optimize cross-border data flow mechanisms and extend the
'negative list + operational guidelines' model to more industries for data
exports. The plan proposes exploring interregional personal information transfer
standards, building rule‑mutual‑recognition 'aggregate‑to‑aggregate'
cross-border data transfer service facilities to scale standardized compliance
services, accelerating service‑center deployment, strengthening policy
consulting and preliminary verification of negative‑list materials, and
advancing multilateral and bilateral pilot projects to facilitate cross-border
data cooperation.
