This is exactly the same in China, coupled with the ICP license that makes for total control of what is accessible in the territory.

My understanding is that China requires that data for Chinese citizens is only stored in China (you can maybe export aggregate, anonymous data).

Russia on the other hand requires that data for Russian citizens be stored in Russia. I don't believe they prevent export.

I've heard of large companies complying by simply uploading a tarball to a Russian server periodically.

So does South Korea. At least based on my experience in gaming industry. They also required encrypting all private data.

Our new data protection laws won't kick in till 2018. I expect the NYT will then write a large article about how undemocratic the EU is after companies get fined for disobeying (this is assuming they don't manage to work around it with a new privacy shield that somehow makes it okay to store the data on US servers and rendering the whole protection meaningless).
