China’s chance to become a global AI player will depend on its data privacy laws

This blog post by Enrique Dans discusses the data privacy concerns surrounding popular Chinese apps like TikTok and Shein.  Dans highlights the work of Max Schrems, who is challenging these apps' data transfer practices to China, where government access to data is virtually unchecked. European Union law prohibits such transfers unless the recipient country provides adequate data protection, which is considered impossible in China's authoritarian surveillance state. The article further explores the implications for businesses using these apps and the broader geopolitical context, comparing the situation to previous controversies involving US data handling.  Finally, the comments section offers additional perspectives and technical discussions relating to the issues raised. This article is also available in English on my Medium page, «China’s chance to become a global AI player will depend on its data privacy laws«
