În acest articol s-au punctat aspecte generale privind cadrul legislativ, instituțiile competente, obiectivele strategice ale Chinei și provocările în ceea ce privește cooperarea internațională în domeniul securității cibernetice. Obiectivul principal al cercetării este identificarea actorilor implicați în asigurarea securității cibernetice a Chinei, descrierea atribuțiilor lor și corelarea acestora cu legislația chineză în materie de securitate cibernetică și cu Strategia de cooperare a Chinei în securitate cibernetică. Prin acest studiu, se trasează considerațiile preliminare pentru viitoarele analize aprofundate cu privire la impactul acțiunilor Chinei asupra securității cibernetice la nivel internațional. Printre principalele concluzii ale studiului, se regăsesc câteva aspecte legate de influențele politicilor și narativelor Partidului Comunist Chinez, prezentate în Strategia de cooperare internațională a Chinei în securitate cibernetică, precum și de faptul că, în pofida intenției Chinei de a deveni o putere cibernetică, deschisă către cooperare, reacțiile internaționale sunt destul de reticente, din cauza acuzațiilor de spionaj cibernetic și problemelor de supraveghere internă, existente la nivel național, printre altele.
