China has drafted its new data protection law, Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) that will strengthen the regulatory framework for privacy and data protection in China. The PIPL aims to protect individuals' rights and interests, regulate personal information processing activities, safeguard the lawful and orderly flow of data, and facilitate reasonable use of personal information. The PIPL applies to both the public and private sectors. The PIPL does not apply to natural persons handling personal information for personal or family affairs.

The PIPL went into effect on 1st November 2021.
