Systematic government access to private-sector data in China

Abstract

In accordance with facilitating Chinese e-government construction, many laws made for the purpose of state security, public security, censorship, and taxation have granted the Chinese government extensive power of access to private-sector data generated in such businesses as information, finance, trade, travel, entertainment, and so on operated in China. There is no law or practice related to governmental systematic access currently found in China probably because of its near-zero adoption of cloud services. However, this kind of systematic data access will certainly be found in future enforcement and ensuing legislation once the Chinese government realizes it is necessary within the evolution of e-government strategy. Establishment of a special cloud zone would offer international cloud services and users a set of new rules with possibly the least governmental access to data harboured in that zone.
