Seven Lessons for Data Compliance Teams from the SAMR 'Ghost Takeout' Series — 3.5 Billion Yuan, 9-Month Suspensions, and the Per-Merchant Aggregation Doctrine
In April 2026, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) imposed administrative penalties on seven major e-commerce platforms in the 'ghost takeout' series — 3.5 billion yuan in aggregate corporate fines, nearly 20 million yuan in individual fines on legal representatives and food-safety officers, and 3-to-9-month business suspensions. While the cases were ostensibly food-safety enforcement, their analytical structure — pierce-the-paper-compliance, per-merchant aggregation of penalties, identification of licensed-entity liability holders, dual penalties on individual compliance officers — translates directly to data-compliance enforcement. Adapted from a substantive practitioner analysis by 黄春林 (Huang Chunlin), this DCC brief works through seven operational lessons that DSO / PIPO / DPO and compliance counsel should apply *before* the analogous enforcement wave reaches data compliance.

MIIT Public-Naming Bulletin 2026 Batch 3 (Total Batch 56): 31 Apps and SDKs Cited for PI Violations and Window-Redirect Abuse
MIIT's Information & Communications Administration Bureau published its 2026 Batch 3 public-naming bulletin (total Batch 56) on May 21, 2026, citing 31 apps and SDKs for violations of personal-information collection rules and window-redirect abuse. DCC frames this as the first entry in our enforcement tracker — explaining the joint CAC + MIIT + MPS 2026 Special Campaign that authorizes the batches, the four-statute legal architecture invoked, the rectification-then-enforcement pathway each named entity faces, the cadence of the bulletin series (roughly monthly, 56 batches since inception), and the operational picture this gives overseas counsel of which PI-protection violations actually attract enforcement in the Chinese mobile-app channel.
