Book description

A comprehensive, structured, and up-to-date introduction to the law governing the dissemination of information in a computer-mediated world in China, Internet Law in China stresses the practical applications of the law that are encountered by all individuals and organizations in Chinese cyberspace, but always in the light of theoretical underpinnings. Among the overarching topics treated in the Chinese context are the following: intellectual property protection in cyberspace; privacy of communication and data privacy; electronic contract forming and electronic signature; personal, domestic and international jurisdiction; and free expression in cyberspace. This book is particularly valuable to legal, business, and communication professionals, academics, and students concerned with the regulation of the Internet and related activities in China. It is the first book to focus solely on Chinese Internet law.

  • The first book to systematically explore the legal doctrines and principles that apply to the Internet and related activities in China
  • Broad coverage: from Internet speech to proprietary interests, privacy issues, electronic contracts, and jurisdiction
  • Original comparative analysis of China’s Internet regulation practice in the global context
