Shanghai Cyberspace Administration and Shanghai Data Bureau issued measures to facilitate high‑level opening and ease cross‑border data flows, focusing on upgrading cross‑border data‑flow infrastructure. Initiatives include advancing the national blockchain network (Shanghai hub) and strengthening distributed digital identity, privacy‑preserving computing and cross‑chain services; backing construction of cross‑border data‑service facilities and piloting rule‑recognition-based cross‑border data service models with targeted applications in finance and automotive sectors. The plan designates Lingang New Area, Hongqiao international CBD and Pudong as international data cooperation hubs and explicitly supports international data center construction to underpin the compute‑services industry and related cross‑border digital offerings.
