Abstract: In China's Personal Information Protection Law (Draft), the definition of personal information needs to be revised, and it should be stipulated as "personal information is any kind of information that can identify a living natural person alone or combined with other information, excluding which has been processed via the anonymization". Furthermore, a new clause as a supplement should be added in order to reflect the legislative idea of "identification" + "relevance". The listed operation items of personal information processing should be modified from seven items to eleven items, then that will be: collection, storage, processing, using, transaction, providing, disclosure, consultation, copy, correction and erasure. There is a contradiction between Article 69 and the Clause 2 of Article 24, detailed as: the terms "impossible to identify" and "unable to be recovered" which is mentioned in the definition of anonymization in Article 69, contradicts with the term "re-identify" referred in the Clause 2 of Article 24, and this contradiction should be resolved.
