Abstract:In addition to the different domestic regulations of various countries,the international regulation of data is also an essential link.As a result of the imbalance between data governance and free access to data,international path to data regulation have accordingly emerged with numerous problems that need to be recognized,reflected upon and addressed.On the basis of translating the types of international pathways for data regulation into trade,standardization and certification mechanisms,it is found that they are suffering from the dilemma of fragmentation,limitation increase and weakening.In the face of this situation,countries should look for a way out in three areas including “compatibility”and “interoperability”,modularisation and functional strengthening.China should also take this as a lesson to achieve a non-zero-sum game through different institutional arrangements in order to integrate into the circle of global data flows without regulatory decoupling.
