LAWASIA’s Regional Workshop on Data Protection, Chuo University, Tokyo, Japan.

Held on 31/08/2025

Grateful to Have Presented at LAWASIA’s Regional Workshop on Data Protection, Chuo University, Tokyo, Japan.

I had the opportunity to present on “Landmark Judgments on Data Protection” at the LAWASIA regional workshop, hosted by:

• Dr. Nobuyuki Sato, Ph.D. in Law, Vice President, Chuo University

• Professor Hiroshi Miyashita, Professor of Law, Faculty of Policy Studies, Chuo University

• Dr. Sunil Abeyaratne, Ph.D., Chair, Communications, Technology & Data Protection Committee, LAWASIA

Professor Hiroshi, in his speech, mentioned why they chose this venue. He stated that the setting was chosen deliberately. As the host professor noted, the mission of the university is to “find something universal”.

The workshop featured speakers from six jurisdictions: China, Hong Kong (myself), South Korea, India, Japan, and Sri Lanka, fostering meaningful cross-border dialogue on privacy law.

My presentation focused on how Hong Kong’s PDPO has evolved through key judicial decisions and enforcement events, with comparative insights from China’s PIPL, the EU’s GDPR, and the OECD Privacy Guidelines.

I was truly encouraged by the kind feedback from the organisers mentioned earlier, including a thumbs-up and the words “excellent presentation.” Their support reinforces the value of collaborative learning across jurisdictions.

Looking forward to continuing this conversation at the LAWASIA 2025 Conference in Hanoi!
