3 Cross-border transmission of financial information in the global financial market has gradually attracted the attention of many countries. Governments in these countries are aware of the need for regulation on the cross-border transmission of financial information. In recent years, various laws and policies have been introduced to regulate. However, in practice, there are dilemmas and obstacles in the cross-border transmission of financial information, such as conflicts between financial information confidentiality obligations and cross-border transmission, information sharing, and whether the provisions of "domestic storage and operation" should apply to financial information. In addition to continuously improving their own laws and regulation in order to promote the synergy of self-regulation of the financial industry and government regulation, they should also coordinate the international levels of development of cross-border financial information transmission on the way of improving legal regulation of the cross-border transmission of financial information.

The time for feedback issued by the People's Bank of China on the Implementation Measures for the Protection of Financial Consumers' Rights and Interests (Draft for Comment) (hereinafter referred to as the "2019 Implementation Measures") ends on January 25, 2020.2 Article 27 of the 2019 Implementation Measures first amends the "Personal Financial Information" of the "Implementation Measures for the Protection of Financial Consumer Rights and Interests of the People's Bank of China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Measures for 2016") implemented on December 14, 2016,3 It is "consumer financial information", which defines financial information as "buy, use" related information of financial products or services, including personal identification information, property information, account information, credit information, financial transaction information and other related information. In the era of data informatization, the free flow of various types of data information has promoted the development of cross-border services and cross-border trade. The cross-border transmission of financial information not only promotes the internationalization of enterprises but also facilitates the rapid development of the global financial industry. If financial transactions, the cross-border transmission of financial information, lacks unified legal supervision but is allowed to expand freely and disorderly, then financial transactions are bound to go chaotic. For individual users in financial transactions, if personal financial information is leaked by financial institutions or used in an improper way, the owner of the information is likely to suffer property losses. At the same time, financial institutions will also be subject to administrative sanctions and other legal sanctions.

2. Analysis of the Status Quo of the Regulation of Cross-border Transmission of Financial Information

Starting from the historical process of China's financial reform, the merger of bancassurance regulatory agencies can be described as a landmark event, which marks that the modern financial regulatory framework is further reshaped. The banking industry emphasizes serving entities, orderly resolving the risks of shadow banking, and promoting the establishment of a long-term mechanism for risk management and control, while the insurance industry pays more attention to the introduction of new policies in equity, products, channels and promotes the return of the insurance industry through detailed and strict regulatory standards guarantee and transform high quality. From laws to departmental regulations, China's regulations on the cross-border transmission of financial information are gradually becoming more complete and detailed. However, compared with other countries and areas abroad like the EU, there are still some deficiencies.
