Cross-Border Data Discovery — How the U.S., EU, and China Each Play Offense and Defense
When a foreign authority wants data stored in China — or vice versa — three doctrines compete. The U.S. uses a 'data controller standard' (CLOUD Act) that reaches globally on offense and shields domestically through ECPA blocking on defense. The EU uses 'market access' leverage (GDPR Article 3 jurisdictional reach plus Article 48 blocking). China uses a 'data location standard' (territorial sovereignty plus the MLA Law, DSL, and PIPL blocking clauses). Wang Qinglan maps the four discovery paths, the three jurisdictional doctrines, and what compliance teams should build to survive the squeeze.
