​China’s Digital Silk Road has been a conduit for China to export its excess capacity, support infrastructure development in developing countries, and expand its global influence. And while the headlines focus on the physical footprint China is leaving, less attention is paid to its comprehensive efforts to tilt the global consensus on how governments and business should interact in the digital economy in favor of its authoritarian model of governance. 


Who sets the rules for the internet and what does it mean when China tries to change them? With AI and Big Data driving global economic growth, what are the business consequences of China’s recent cybersecurity and data protection regulations? Is the world headed not just for supply chain but also for data transfer decoupling?

In this presentation, you will learn the basics of who sets the rules for the internet and why it matters for global business flows. You will also learn how China influences international standards bodies to foster acceptance of data protocols that take control out of the hands of business and put them into the hands of government.
