Will The WTO Talks on E-commerce And Digital Trade Witness a Breakthrough? Will The WTO Talks on E-commerce And Digital Trade Witness a Breakthrough?

No.

It will be hard to see a breakthrough coming this year as the parties have thus far differed so greatly in their opinions.

As to how to view data, the EU cares more about the civil rights and privacy rules behind data, while the US exalts its national security and commercial interests above all.

China and the US greatly diverge in their focuses on current proposals. China more greatly prefers trade facilitation, and this is a core reflection of the demands of Chinese internet companies to sell their goods to overseas markets via their internet platforms, while the US wants rules that facilitate the global expansion of Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook and Apple.
