When working with collaborators in Switzerland it became obvious that the government shot itself in the foot when regulating the use and transfer of patient data. Even some of the simple anonymized statistical data sets require permission from the ethics committee.
These country-specific regulations also serve as a barrier to entry when asking someone for a data set from a published paper in order to replicate their experiments to see if these experiments are reproducible.
In your experience, what are the best countries (including Asia), where data transactions for research purposes are not regulated and most fluid?

I heard that Korea used to be easy (at least before 2015), and I heard that many european labs partnered with korean companies/labs for this specific reason. However, transferring the data out of korea maybe difficult; albeit, onsite (over servers) processing is more than possible given that all the necessary permission has been obtained.
