The Cybersecurity 2026 guide features over 20 jurisdictions. The guide provides the latest legal information on cybersecurity law and regulation, including in relation to critical infrastructure, financial sector operation resilience, cyber-resilience, and ICT certification. The guide also covers the intersection of cybersecurity with data protection law, AI developments, and healthcare regulation. 

The China chapter is structured around two themes: “Law and Practice” and “Trends and Developments”. It outlines China's enforcement-focused cybersecurity framework under the Cybersecurity Law, Data Security Law and Personal Information Protection Law, highlighting cross-border data transfer, breach response, and AI governance as key risk areas for 2026 as China's cybersecurity and data compliance landscape shifts from rulemaking to active enforcement in response to China’s expanding digital economy and tightening national security governance.

As the introduction to the guide says, Cybersecurity law can no longer be thought of as something separate and isolated but should be treated as an integral part of a larger, interconnected landscape, where a broad range of stakeholders must be integrated and where different laws are relevant. Anyone interested in China's cybersecurity landscape should read this guide.
