MOFCOM, the NDRC and the Ministry of Finance issued an Action Plan to stabilize
and improve foreign investment that calls for optimizing management of
cross-border data flows. The plan backs pilot programs in free trade zones and
national service‑sector opening cities to develop scenario-specific, field‑level
outbound data negative lists, and pushes for national standards to identify
catalogs of important data in industrial, telecom, geospatial, automotive,
pharmaceutical, seed, aerospace and civil aviation sectors.
