series of timely adjustments to its cyber security strategy on the basis of the former
ones. These adjustments include increasing investment in cyber security aiming at
the “Indo-Pacific” region, maintaining the linkage mechanism between Australia
and the United States and improving cyber offensive capabilities to adapt to the
needs of militarization of the Internet. At present, given the increasing competition
between China and the United States in the anarchic cyberspace, Australia’s cyber
security strategy is demonstrating some degree of interventionism and moving
towards “frontier defense”, which would possibly exert negative influence on
Australia’s cyber security policy toward China. In spite of this, the cooperation
between Australia and China in the field of cyberspace has witnessed a stable
development. While cyberspace security cooperation between the two countries is
still in an early stage, Australia holds a positive attitude towards China’s efforts to
become a “big cyber power” and is willing to cooperate with China in formulating
network behavior norms and building a good cyberspace order.

129 An Analysis of Security Risks Facing Overseas Chinese Citizens
and Chinese Enterprises Based on the Safety Reminders Issued by
Chinese Embassies
XIA Liping
[Abstract] Safety alert information issued by Chinese embassies in foreign countries
provides an effective way to explore the safety risks facing overseas Chinese citizens
and Chinese enterprises. In 2017 and 2018, Chinese embassies issued more than 1000
safety alert messages with nine categories of security risks involved. Ranking on the
top 3 of these categories are public security risks, security risks caused by illegal acts
and improper conduct by Chinese citizens and Chinese enterprises, and risks induced
by terrorist attacks, armed conflict and political instability. Rampant global telecom
fraud crime, undiminished risks of terrorist attacks and the volatile regional situations
are the objective factors affecting the safety of overseas Chinese citizens and
enterprises. However, on the part of overseas Chinese citizens and enterprises, their
weak awareness of security risk prevention, improper conduct, violations of laws and
regulations will not only pose a security threat to the parties and enterprises involved
but also directly affect local people’s perception of the overall image of China and
Chinese citizens. To a certain extent, they will be reduced to a “vicious circle” security
dilemma. As regards security risk prevention, proactive efforts should be made to
strengthen relevant publicity and education of overseas security risks and clarify the
legal effects of safety alert information so that violators shall bear the consequences. It
is necessary to establish more warning and disciplinary mechanisms like the “Black
List of Uncivilized Tourists” and take targeted measures in line with the geographical
characteristics of risk distribution. Concerning the prevention and disposal of those
security risks rooted domestically, the principle of “combining internal actions with
international coordination” should be followed. Relevant government agencies can
launch special crackdown actions while carrying out international law enforcement
cooperation abroad.
