Chinese Perspectives on Security in Cyberspace

Abstract

When discussing the development of national security in cyberspace, it is important to bear in mind that different states may interpret this term broadly. This presentation will analyse how the Chinese stance on global cyber security and governance issues has been informed by both a consistently evolved domestic policy approach to questions of security and sovereignty, and a pragmatic response to a succession of external events. It combines a view that takes seriously the Chinese Communist Party’s primary importance in defining national security, and that invites Western researchers to view existing cyber policies “from the other side”.
