Volvo – an energized future

Chinese carmaker Geely has successfully brought its Swedish subsidiary Volvo on the Stockholm stock exchange.

China protects personal data – but only from corporations

Large companies such as Tencent have already revised their data protection regulations. The law also has an impact on foreign companies. It is similar to the European data protection law in terms of the relationship between companies and customers. However, the state still exempts itself from the obligations in China.
