Since its first Internet connection with the global computer network in 1994,
China has witnessed explosive Internet development. China replaced the United
States as the largest Internet user of the world by the end of 2008. Although
China enjoyed tremendous economic benefits from Internet development, the
Chinese government has tried to maintain tight control over the
telecommunications industry and the public Internet use, in order to protect
the internet sovereignty.

In this presentation we will review historical development of Internet use in
China and focus on China’s Internet censorship and its regulatory control.
Next, we explore the major content of the latest cyber security law of China,
and introduce the background of these regulations. Finally the characteristics
and weakness of the upcoming cybersecurity law of China will be summarized.

The seminar is open for everyone, and there is no registration. We hope to see
you there!
