The growth of e-commerce and other platforms has significantly increased the amount of personal data that is shared and submitted online; however, the adequate and secure collection and processing of these data is of great concern. With the EU’s implementation of a new data protection regulation in 2018, the development of personal data protection globally has reached an important turning point and has sparked the interest of scholars and businesses. Text coding was employed to compare the current personal data protection regulation landscape in the EU and in China to discover the differences between the General Data Protection Regulation and the personal data protection regulations of the fastest-growing economy in e-commerce. The results show that while there are several similarities in regard to general requirements, such as principles of data processing and basic rights for data subjects, China’s personal data protection regulations tend to lack specific operational requirements and strong legal enforcement. Based on the research results, implications and recommendations for the government and companies are provided.
