On July 16, 2025, the 2025 Overseas Finance Closed-Door Forum, themed "Enabling the Intelligent, Envisioning the Future," was successfully held in Shanghai. The forum brought together numerous industry experts in fintech and artificial intelligence to jointly explore cutting-edge technology trends and industry empowerment pathways. Topics covered key aspects such as corporate management, overseas expansion trends, risk control strategies, overseas marketing, data, and financial and tax compliance. At the invitation of the organizer ADVANCE.AI, Llinks partner Dr. David Pan delivered a keynote speech titled "Key Points of Cross-Border Data Compliance for Overseas Enterprises."
Dr. Pan began by comparing the three mainstream legislative models: the EU's rights-based approach, the US's market-driven model, and China's state-led framework, providing participating enterprises with a clear macro perspective on global data compliance. Addressing the core concerns of overseas enterprises, Dr. Pan conducted an in-depth analysis of cross-border data transfer regulations in hotspot regions such as Southeast Asia (including Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia) and Latin America (including Brazil, Mexico). By interpreting actual enforcement cases, Dr. Pan warned of compliance risks arising from insufficient data protection measures. Additionally, Dr, Pan discussed the fintech industry's unique challenges in balancing the "data minimization" principle with the "data demand" for business development, and cautioned enterprises to be highly vigilant against algorithmic discrimination risks such as "big data discrimination" against existing customers. During the event, Dr. David Pan, Mr. Nigel Zhu, and representatives from participating companies engaged in in-depth exchanges on topics including overseas data compliance and digital assets.
Llinks possesses extensive practical experience in overseas data compliance and will continue to uphold professional and pragmatic principles, maintaining close attention to and research on cutting-edge issues in related fields, committed to safeguarding the globalization efforts of Chinese enterprises.
