In recent years,the global regulatory circumstances have become complicated. In the field of anti-monopoly and data protection,severe penalties have been repeatedly imposed on relevant entities by regulatory agencies and the intensity of law enforcement has been unprecedently strengthened;The enforcement technology of the anti-monopoly law consistently innovates and makes breakthrough,and new data protection laws are being introduced one after another;Antitrust and data protection exhibit the trend of mutual integration. In this context,Chinese entities trying to expand their operations overseas are facing increasingly demanding compliance challenges and legal risks ranging from delay,restriction or even termination of transactions on the easier side,to massive compensation or even adjustments to business models on the harder side. Moreover,the executives may be confronted with personal criminal liabilities. In order to effectively manage these risks,Chinese entities may pay close attention to relevant legislation and law enforcement trend in major jurisdictions around the world,strengthen risk identification and diversified management ex ante,improve capabilities of effective response and cross-jurisdiction coordination during investigation process as well as take focused remedies and improvement measures ex post,so as to realize sustainable overseas expansion.
