The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership(RCEP)has entered into force as the first free trade agreement containing provisions on the rules of cross-border flow of data,and its new provisions on cross-border flow of data encourage cross-border flow of data on the basis of full respect for the sovereignty of national data,and in principle prohibit restrictions while setting up exception clauses,attempting to establish a cooperation model of data govern-ance based on"joint consultation,common construction and common governance",promoting regional digital governance,and making breakthroughs in influencing the rules on the flow of data globally.
