New PRC Cyber Data Security Regulations Will Impact U.S. Sensitive Data in China On 24 September, the State Council of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) issued the order to promulgate the “Regulations on the Management of Network Data Security” (网络数据安全管理条例), hereafter referred to as Cyber Data Security Regulations). The State Council’s Standing Committee approved the regulations on 30 August, and they will take effect on 1 January 2025. Pamir assesses that the new set of regulations strengthens the PRC government’s oversight of data management. In this respect, the vague and unclear provisions of the regulations will enable Chinese government agencies to arbitrarily exercise their authority. #China #cybersecurity #sensitivedata #datalocalization #USChinarelations #technology https://lnkd.in/eHyWPyb8

China and Vietnam Play Down Disputes in the South China Sea On 29 September, a Vietnamese fishing boat clashed with Chinese maritime law enforcement ships in the disputed waters around the Paracel Islands in the South China Sea (SCS). Vietnamese state media reported that Chinese law enforcement personnel boarded the fishing boat and beat the crew, seriously injuring four of them. The Vietnamese Foreign Ministry filed a diplomatic protest with the Chinese embassy in Hanoi. Beijing, in turn, accused the Vietnamese fishing boat of “illegal fishing” in Chinese territorial waters and released a video showing the Vietnamese crew attacking Chinese law enforcement personnel with knifes, injuring two Chinese nationals. #USChinarelations #vietnam #geopolitics #military #southchinasea https://lnkd.in/gBUGp6my

The business environment in China has changed significantly over the past 20 years, especially since Xi Jinping’s ascendance to the top of the Chinese Communist Party. As our final panelists at the 2024 Pamir Academy conference, Lingling Wei and Piper Lounsbury shared their observations based on years of experience working and reporting in China and provided insights on how US businesses can adapt to new challenges and opportunities in China’s changing business climate. #BusinessEnvironmentinChina #XiJinping #ChineseCommunistParty #USBusinesses

The greatest challenge that the PRC poses to US businesses is that its policies and behavior have created an unfair playing field. Laura D. and Anna Puglisi shared their valuable perspectives during the 2024 Pamir Academy conference on what US businesses should do to thrive in the current environment and how the US Government can help. #USBusinesses #PRCPoliciesandPractices #USGovernment #BusinessEnvironmentinChina #ChinaRisk

The US Government has strengths and limitations when it comes to protecting US business interests vis-a-vis PRC policies and practices. Meghan N. H. and Adam Hickey at the 2024 Pamir Academy conference laid out a comprehensive picture of the US regulatory landscape and how US businesses can engage the US Government to minimize their risk exposure when working with and in China. #USBusinesses #PRCPoliciesandPractices #USRegulatoryEnvironment #USGovernment #ChinaRisk

Beijing’s Pursuit of Green Economy Will Strain China’s Foreign Relations Beijing is committed to achieving the green transformation of its economy and society. The latest evidence of that commitment is the directive on “Expediting Comprehensive Green Transformation for Economic and Social Development,” which was jointly issued by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee and the State Council in August 2024. The directive calls for accelerating the development of non-fossil fuel energy sources and the creation of technological innovations to support the policy agenda. Pamir assesses that the implementation of the directive, which calls for intensifying the development of hydropower projects in southwestern China and non-fossil fuel energy sources such as solar power, will exacerbate China’s strained relations with its Southeast and South Asian neighbors as well as further aggravate its relations with the US and the EU. #chinaeconomy #geopolitics #technology #energy #hydropower #solarpower https://lnkd.in/ejYiMCJP

US businesses should understand that China's global aspirations means that risks are not confined to PRC's geographical boundaries. At the 2024 Pamir Academy conference, Jonathan Welch and John W. Tai provided their perspectives on this subject through an examination of how Taiwan is safeguarding its sensitive data and critical infrastructure. #USBuisnesses #PRC #Taiwan #GeopoliticalRisk #SensitiveData #CriticalInfrastructure

During the 2024 Pamir Academy conference, Peter Mattis and Matthew B. provided an insightful analysis of the important role that China’s intelligence/security apparatus plays in advancing the Chinese Communist Party’s goals and aspirations. US businesses should be aware that Chinese state security agencies are deeply embedded in Chinese society, and also protect and support strategic industries. #IntelligenceandSecurity #ChineseCommunistParty #USBusinesses #ChinaRisk

China has become the global leader in applied science. It has done so through a coordinated state-sponsored effort that employs extralegal means, such as talent recruitment and unsupervised academic exchanges. Insights gathered during the 2024 Pamir Academy conference through panelists Jeff Stoff , Dr. William Hannas, and others shed light on this phenomenon and its implications for U.S. national security and business interests. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for formulating effective responses and navigating the evolving landscape. #TechnologyAcquisition #AppliedScience #StateSponsoredApproach #TalentRecruitment #AcademicExchanges #NationalSecurity #BusinessInterests #USBusinesses #ChinaRisk
