China’s Law-Based Cyberspace Governance in the New Era: Upholding the Rule of Law

The Chinese government published China’s Law-Based Cyberspace Governance in the New Era white paper to introduce China’s progress and experience in law-based cyberspace governance.

Adapting to the developing trends of global information technology, China set out from its own realities to integrate law-based cyberspace governance into the overall national strategy of the rule of law, gaining knowledge and experience in the process. It has pioneered a distinctive Chinese approach to law-based cyberspace governance.

– People-centered development

In China, the people contribute ideas and solutions and play a principal role. Their rights, interests, aspirations and wellbeing are the focus in every aspect of cyber legislation, law enforcement, judiciary work, public education, and all other areas of law-based cyberspace governance.

– Further development of the internet

Under law-based cyberspace governance, China has guided and regulated efforts to build a high-quality digital China – improving the governance system for the digital economy, the legal framework of digital government, and the digital society initiative.
