Abstract

The free flow of cross-border data possesses significant economic growth implications. As in-dividual rights awareness strengthens and nations increasingly prioritize sovereignty, the free movement of cross-border data faces impediments under the context of national security conflicts. This paper employs a literature review method to summarize scholars proposed solutions for balancing the conflict between cross-border data protection and free flow. Through comparative analysis and case studies, it examines the regulatory models of the United States, the European Union, and China regarding cross-border data governance. Key cases analyzed include the invalidation of the EU-US Privacy Shield Agreement and the subsequent Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework. Building upon these analyses, the study proposes a balanced cross-border data governance model aimed at achieving a tripartite equilibrium among privacy protection, national security, and digital economic development. This model seeks to reconcile data flow efficiency with security, safeguard the rights and interests of all stakeholders.
