Extraterritorial scope
The property of certain Chinese instruments (notably the GenAI Interim Measures and the Deep Synthesis Provisions) to apply to services accessible within China's territory regardless of where the provider is incorporated, distinguishing the existence of an obligation from the mechanics of completing its filing.
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 3 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified China AI Regulatory Professional (CCARP).
How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.
A legal provision that applies to conduct or processing occurring, in part or in whole, outside the country that issued the law, based on a connecting factor such as the location of the affected individuals. PIPL's Article 3 extraterritorial scope is the clearest example in this topic: it can apply to an organization processing personal information of individuals in China even when that organization has no China office.
A regulation's reach beyond the country or region that enacted it, based on where the regulated activity's effects land rather than where the regulated entity is physically located. The EU AI Act, like the GDPR before it, uses this output-based logic to reach American companies with no EU office or employees.

One interview question about it
Show me how you turn a principle like human oversight into a policy clause an engineer can implement and an auditor can test.
Asked of candidates for ai policy and standards writing. Answering it in your own words is exactly how a GAGE topic is passed, and the credential records the pass where an employer can check it.
If you come from another field
Some backgrounds already carry this competency, and the readiness check gives credit for it.
- Compliance and regulatory affairs carries it as a claim to back up: Policy drafting is usually in the role, described rather than shown.
- Nonprofit program and grants oversight carries it as a claim to back up: Acceptable-use and program policy drafting is common.
