Core Viewpoint - The Hainan Free Trade Port has officially launched its full island closure, focusing on innovative regulatory practices for cross-border data flow, which is seen as a significant step towards market-oriented reform and international cooperation in data elements [1]. Group 1: Differentiation in Data Management - Hainan's unique exploration in cross-border data flow management is characterized by two main aspects: industry focus and optimized regulatory processes. The focus is on specific industries such as deep-sea technology, commercial aerospace, low-altitude economy, modern agriculture, tourism, and modern services [3]. - The regulatory process emphasizes post-event supervision, allowing companies to conduct data outbound activities under a negative list framework, significantly enhancing operational efficiency [3]. Group 2: Negative List Management - A clear and actionable negative list for regulated "important data" and "personal information" is an efficient management approach that helps businesses understand and comply with regulations [4]. - The negative list management mechanism aims for precise scenario implementation, ensuring that the content is identifiable and operable, thus minimizing ambiguity for enterprises [4]. Group 3: International Data Center Development - The "Regulations on the Development of International Data Centers in Hainan Free Trade Port" was passed, supporting domestic and foreign enterprises in establishing international data centers and providing data services [5]. - The business forms are categorized into three types: "external data for external use," "internal data for external use," and "external data for internal use," each with specific compliance requirements [5]. Group 4: Infrastructure and Soft Environment - Key infrastructure such as the Haikou International Communication Business Entry Bureau and cross-border submarine cables are being developed to support the safe and orderly flow of cross-border data, particularly benefiting Southeast Asian markets [7]. - The soft environment requires the promotion of rules, regulations, and standards to align with international compliance requirements, facilitating the integration of domestic and foreign data governance [7]. Group 5: Opening Up to Foreign Investment - Hainan has lifted restrictions on foreign investment in value-added telecommunications services, allowing foreign enterprises to participate deeply in the domestic digital market, which is expected to foster the growth of the digital industry ecosystem [8]. - The pilot program for foreign investment in digital services is seen as a critical step towards enhancing data cross-border flow and building a credible data space [9]. Group 6: Future Directions - Future exploration will focus on four key areas: promoting "external data for external use" services, regulating "internal data for external use," exploring "external data for internal use," and integrating these data flow models for complex scenarios [12].

原海南省大数据管理局局长董学耕向证券时报记者指出，"海南模式"的差异化主要体现在产业与监管两 方面。从产业布局看，海南将数据跨境重点场景明确在深海科技、商业航天、低空经济、现代农业等特 色产业领域。这种场景驱动模式，使得数据跨境需求更为具体，风险更易管控。从监管流程看，在坚守 安全底线的前提下，海南更加强调事中事后监管。对于负面清单外的数据出境，允许企业在审慎承诺前 提下先行开展，并辅以事后备案管理，或直接免于审批，显著提升了企业的运营效率。 基于数据出境管理负面清单的"非禁即准"模式，核心是为企业提供稳定预期。董学耕强调，负面清单管 理机制的关键在于场景的精细化，确保清单内容"可识别、可界定、可操作"，最大限度消除模糊空间， 让企业清楚知道什么能做、什么不能做。 基于清晰的制度框架，海南自贸港已在前期试点过程中布局了多层次、立体化的业务形态。根据已出台 的《海南自由贸易港国际数据中心发展规定》，海南自贸港国际数据中心的业务主要分为三类，分别 是"外数外用""内数外用"和"外数内用"。其中，"外数外用"相关业务不涉及境内数据出境，已成为海南 自贸港当前的重点发力方向。董学耕预计，游戏服务、影视制作、商业航天等 ...
