Chapter 6. Improving Capacity of Cyber Security Safeguarding

Abstract

It is the focus of leading countries’ competition and the strategic area for maintaining the security of a nation. Guided by the principle of “establishing a correct philosophy on cyber security” proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping, China aims to ensure development through security and promote security through development, persisting in the equality between cyber security administration and technical support. It tries to establish the complete cyber security review mechanism, enhance the security protection of critical information infrastructure and keep improving the people’s awareness and skills of cyber security protection to build a solid cyber security defense.

Chapter 7. Active Participation in International Cyberspace Governance

Abstract

The Internet has expanded the scope of national governance and created new space for people’s life, making the world into a global village. On the other hand, there have occurred a series of problems, including the imbalance of development, unsoundness of rules and unreasonableness of order as well as information gap, intellectual property right infringement, cybercrime, network sniffing, network attack and cyberterrorism, which all pose challenges to national sovereignty, security and interest.
