Abstract
With the Shanghai Cooperation Organization’s (SCO) progressive enlargement, its geographic scope extends from Central Asia to South Asia and adjacent regions. This broadening highlights the necessity of developing a standardized data governance architecture as the cornerstone for digital economic advancement within the SCO framework. The current landscape, characterized by heterogeneous regulatory approaches among member nations and insufficient multilateral coordination mechanisms, necessitates urgent institutional innovation. Three foundational pillars emerge for establishing this cooperative regime: Formulating cross-border data governance protocols; Creating multi-tiered legislative coordination structures; Implementing comprehensive collaborative security standards. Given China’s prominent role in digital transformation, it should proactively advance its strategic blueprint through multilateral platforms, proposing innovative solutions in SCO negotiations while fostering collective security paradigms that benefit all stakeholders.
