全球数据跨境流通存在障碍 陈柏珲：建议协调各国机制差异

Core Viewpoint - The current digital wave is reshaping the global landscape, with cross-border data flow being crucial for digital trade and economic development [1] Group 1: Data Governance and Fragmentation - The global data governance has entered a fragmented state, with each country having its own systems for data management and large model training, leading to a divided global governance [1][2] - The fragmentation of data governance has tangible economic consequences, with a simulation indicating that if all countries completely restrict cross-border data flow, global GDP could decline by 4.5% and exports by 8.5% [2] - The fundamental reason for the increasing difficulty in achieving smooth global data flow is not ideological conflict but rather differences in mechanisms across countries [2] Group 2: Coordination of Differences - There are significant differences among countries across 45 dimensions, including legality conditions, localization requirements, and penalty mechanisms, rooted in historical, legal, and social contexts [2] - The key issue is not whether data should flow, but how to coordinate its flow amidst these differences in laws and regulations [2][3] - The international community currently lacks effective mechanisms to coordinate these differences, leading to the politicization of data governance [2] Group 3: Best Practices and Proposals - Singapore has emerged as a trusted node for cross-border data flow due to its transparent regulations, good enforcement records, and compatible legal framework with the EU [3] - A proposal is made to establish a technical, non-subjective evaluation system under the UN framework, creating a unified, transparent, and verifiable mechanism for data protection laws [3] - This system would allow countries and enterprises to test compliance with data protection standards, transforming cross-border data flow from a political trust issue to a technical coordination issue [3]
