China's Cybersecurity Strategies as a Cyber Power
Abstract
With the rapid development of the technology and the increase in connecting objects to the internet, cybersecurity has started to be on the agendas of states. Traditional methods are inadequate and sometimes do not respond to the cyberspace security, which occupies a place between physical and virtual. In this context, this study is examined what China’s cybersecurity strategies are. The reason for choosing China for the study is that it works in various fields to ensure cyber security and this can be an example in terms of how cyber security can be achieved. The study consists of three sections. In the first section, the concept of cybersecurity is defined through cyber insecurity perceptions. In the second section, China’s perceptions of cyber insecurity are discussed and then China’s approach to cybersecurity is described. The third section focuses on what strategies China follows to ensure cybersecurity. Finally, in the conclusion, an evaluation is made within the framework of what has been explained from the beginning to end.
