中国《网络安全法》开启中国网络安全新时代

Abstract

The development of the Network, which has been deeply integrated into our political, economic and social lives, has brought us convenience on the one hand, but on the other hand, cyber threats are increasingly important and strategically relevant in both developed and developing countries. Cyber security is one of the highest priority items on the global policy and national security agendas, and an increasingly challenging policy area for governments. For the purposes of guaranteeing cyber security, safeguarding cyberspace sovereignty, national security and public interest, protecting the lawful rights and interests of citizens, legal persons and other organizations, and promoting the sound development of economic and social informatization, China has developed the Cybersecurity Law, which is the first comprehensive and fundamental law in the field of cyber security in China. The new Cybersecurity Law introduces a number of measures designed to protect the government and individuals from cybercrime and data leakage. These measures include placing obligations on critical information infrastructure operators, network operators and providers of network products and services to take active steps to protect computer networks from cyber-attacks and protect personal information and important data from being stolen or used for unauthorized purposes. This essay aims to provide a comprehensive guide to the Cybersecurity Law by interpreting the background of legislative and main articles of the Cybersecurity Law.
