CHINA has approved only a quarter of export data applications under new data security laws, hurting businesses and raising tensions between Washington and Beijing, reports London's Financial Times.
Only 25 per cent of all applications have been approved, according to officials at the Cybersecurity Administration of China, the country's chief internet regulator and the head of data security at a Chinese ecommerce company.
Under a law that came into force in September 2022, government approval is required for cross-border data transfers by companies with more than one million registered users, a low threshold in a country with a population of more than one billion.
The Cybersecurity Administration of China, the country's chief internet regulator, has yet to approve thousands of requests from local and international businesses to send data, ranging from personal credit history to online sales records, to their overseas partners, current and former CAC officials said.
