Personal data protection in China has become a focal point in the country's evolving digital economy. With the rapid expansion of data-driven technologies, the Chinese government has enacted and enforced several laws and regulations to safeguard personal information, including the Cybersecurity Law of 2017 and the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) of 2021. This paper explores the practices and prospects of personal data protection regulation in China, focusing on the existing regulatory framework, enforcement mechanisms, and the challenges faced by both the government and businesses in ensuring compliance. Additionally, it discusses China's evolving stance on data sovereignty and its alignment with global data protection standards, particularly the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The paper concludes with an outlook on the future trajectory of personal data protection in China.
