Abstract
This chapter analyses the emerging data realms in China and the European Union against the backdrop of the Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (CAI). It examines the link between data protection and investment flows and undertakes a comparative analysis of the PIPL and GDPR. Moreover, this chapter will also analyse the Digital Silk Road in promoting China’s model of data sovereignty. While early trade and investment agreements did not consider data relevant for the regulation of cross-border commerce, modern treaties are increasingly cognisant of rules for data protection. As such, the data-related provisions of the CAI will be placed in the context of other international investment treaties that seek to address the regulation of data flows.
