overall welfare of the U.S. and even to its national security. In a national security sense,
the U.S. adjusts its global supply chain via two pathways. The first one is featured by
hard measures that are closely related to the bureaucratic system and decision-making
mechanism, as well as relevant legal systems and management norms, which act as a
“deterrent” that forces companies in the U.S. global supply chain into submission. The
second one is characterized by soft measures, which include U.S. national strategies
and policy statements that are not mandatory, being buttressed by the hard measures.
This analytical study is conducive to the clarification and understanding of the U.S.
constantly changing economic and trade policies towards China.

130 Global Data Security Governance and Action Strategies for China’s
Participation in the Era of Digital Economy
QUE Tianshu and WANG Ziyue
[Abstract] Severe data security risks are now interwoven with the complicated
international situation, as a result of which countries battle for an upper hand in laying
down rules as regards data security governance, giving rise to the problem of how to
address global data security issues. Although international actors have realized the
importance of data security governance, a unified governance framework for global
data security has not been fully constructed. The current global data security
governance consists merely of trade rules and other unilateral or multilateral
frameworks. Hence, challenging governance problems continuously emerge at the
individual, societal, economic and national security levels, which inevitably leads to
different interests claims from different governance subjects as well as fragmentation
of rule systems, insufficient effectiveness of mechanisms and weak governance. In the
meantime, data hegemony enjoyed by a few individual countries has made it more
difficult for international actors to reach a consensus on this matter. Therefore, it is
absolutely imperative that global data security governance should be further
underlined and strengthened by the international community. In response, China has
attached greater importance to issues related to data security. However, due to its late
start in the field of data governance, China still faces a series of challenges such as
imperfect legislation, limited technological innovation capabilities, insufficient
international cooperation and weak governance. Therefore, China needs to
comprehensively and systematically analyze the major risk factors affecting data
security, accurately grasp the development trend of global data security and further
optimize its strategy choice in global data security governance.
