Cyber Insecurity of Chinese Citizens

Part of the SpringerBriefs in Cybersecurity book series (BRIEFSCYBER)


The chapter restates the well known fact that China’s government demands a near absolute right to monitor online activity of its citizens. It is introduced by results of a 2017 report on citizen security in cyberspace by major cities in China. It is then organized around four themes: defenses against cyber crime; the cybersecurity confidence of the citizens; protection of political privacy, including in connection with advanced artificial intelligence; and other personal privacy, especially in the light of the emerging social credit system.
