Episode Notes

Cyber impacts us all, but for most non-cyber leaders 'cyber' remains a mystery. While the risk of threat may be recognized, the impact is often hard to understand or appreciate. Deloitte’s Demystifying Cyber podcast series aims to raise awareness of cyber among people, especially business executives. The third episode focuses on how digital and cyber are impacting multinational companies operating in China.

China — one of the biggest markets in the world where many multinationals are operating — wants to continue being an open market and attract foreign investors. At the same time, Chinese government prioritizes national security, social stability, and public interest, and has released a number of cyber laws and regulations to control e.g. data sharing and digital assets.

How do these laws and regulations affect companies operating in China? What should the companies do immediately to ensure continuation of their operations? Our host, Karthi Pillay, discusses these questions together with David Jiang, Partner from Deloitte China office, who helps companies with compliance issues, privacy protection, and cyber security matters.
