China and Germany have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on cross-border data transfer on June 26. The agreement, signed on Wednesday in Beijing, aims to establish a dialogue mechanism to enhance communication on data sharing and create a fair and non-discriminatory business environment. This move signifies China's ongoing efforts to open up to the European Union despite existing tensions, including the EU's threats of imposing tariffs on Chinese goods. The MOU follows an earlier cooperation deal on autonomous driving signed in April. Analysts suggest that China is leveraging data restrictions as a strategic tool in data geopolitics and trade negotiations.
