This January Practical Law China has expanded its coverage of IP & IT with the publication of Article, Data protection at home and abroad: a comparison of approaches. This article examines the current state of data protection approaches in China and other jurisdictions such as the EU, and summarise data protection legislation in place across various jurisdictions in Asia Pacific.
For the employment and benefits practice area, we have published Practice note, Intern management in China. This note gives a comprehensive overview of practical issues of intern management under Chinese law, and gives guidance on practical issues for intern management that arise for human resources departments at multinational corporations.
As usual, we have published our regular monthly roundup of key items for general counsel, GC Agenda China (see Article, GC Agenda China: January 2017) and separate legal updates for important legal and practical developments in this month (see Legal updates) and have updated a number of materials in the light of recent developments (see Maintenance).

We have published Article, Data protection at home and abroad: a comparison of approaches. This article looks at data protection legislation generally, as well as more specific areas such as approaches to data breach notification, data export and the "right to be forgotten". The article also has a table to summarise the data protection legislation in place across various jurisdictions in Asia Pacific.
Employment and benefits
We have published Practice note, Intern management in China. This note considers issues relating to the legal status of internships, rights and benefits of interns, documenting an internship agreement and restrictions on using interns. This note also addresses practical intern management issues frequently encountered by intern-accepting entities in China, including de facto employment and work-related injuries of interns.
