Why on earth would a Chinese court consider GDPR? GDPR is a EU thing.

If you want to do business with the EU then GDPR will probably apply in some way but not for say US to China relations.

However the GDPR is a damn fine set of standards to live up to - bear in mind that you personally are a person. Would you not want your rights as an individual protected in the same way. Go on ... live a little (and be decent).

GDPR may be what everyone needs.

I don't think it matters whether a Chinese court would consider it, the point is that if a Chinese company is doing business in the EU, or to any significant extent with EU nationals, then GDPR is an issue for them. Under threat of fines and worse for their EU subsidiaries.

No idea how much that's really an issue, but I'm pretty sure lots of people order from AliBaba in the EU (I have).
