The Information Office of the State Council released a white paper titled China's Law-based Cyberspace Governance in the New Era on March 16, which highlights China's cyberspace law-based governance since 1994, and demonstrates its intellectual contributions to global cyber governance.

The white paper emphasizes the importance of developing a complete system of cyber laws and regulations, effective enforcement, supervision and infrastructure, to ensure a healthy and orderly cyberspace.

More than 140 laws and regulations regarding cyberspace have been published, providing legal protection, while prioritizing minors' cyberspace environment. The progress in the field of legislation, law enforcement, justice and legal education in cyberspace over the past few years is meaningful for minors' cyberspace environment.

The white paper also highlights China's efforts to promote innovations in relevant laws, to adapt to new challenges brought by big data, blockchain, algorithms, and data security, and strengthen the cultivation of cyber legal talents in the future.

As stated in the white paper, China is ready to partner with all other countries to build a community with a shared future in cyberspace and create a better world.
