@HotSauceMaster Despite its abstractness, the cover illustration highlights the correct locations of the mainland’s 13 first-tier internet hubs established before 2021. The 14th hub ("national-level internet backbone straight point") went live in Hohhot. Many thanks to Anton for his artistry.

Chinese #Cybersecurity Loses Reputation

-Vast amounts of personal information on the dark web
-Servers lack protection
-Expanding non-standard-based "reviews"
-Lack of transparency, predictability, and justiciability of government actions

Will Xi lean further into the strategic partnership with Moscow at the expense of China's ties with its Central-Asian neighbors?
→Chinese interests are more global and multifaceted than Russia's.

Tightening Screws on Critical Information Infrastructure

#Cybersecurity Review is the instrument of choice whenever regulators believe interference is necessary, but other systems, e.g., multi-level protection, lack regulations justifying the interference

Why China Is Prone to Data Leaks:
-Mass surveillance
-Collecting sensitive info. (whereabouts/DNA)
-Integrating many different info. streams
-Many agencies have data access
-One weak link can bring the centralized system down

The personal level 5 self-driving car is still probably several decades away. However, specific use cases like low-speed shared shuttles that follow a set route, on-demand delivery services, and trucking are moving forward at a brisk pace.

→The service level agreement (which usually doesn't assign all PI protection responsibility to a cloud service provider) can clarify who is responsible for leaving the data of one billion Chinese citizens unsecured online for almost 14 months.

[Dr. Michael D. Frick @sinopeer]

#ShanghaiPolice and #Alibaba must have a service level agreement that defines who sets up the "security management center" responsible for the information systems and networks related to China's largest #DataLeak

#AccessManagement
#Authentication

[Dr. Michael D. Frick @sinopeer]

...every time a user logs into a system, user identity authentication is performed by using a password, a token, #biometric data, or a digital certificate controlled by the security management center, as well as by using combinations of two or more other mechanisms...

[Dr. Michael D. Frick @sinopeer]

Chinese cloud-related standards demand that cloud service customers and cloud service providers set up service level agreements, defining competencies and responsibilities, including privacy protection.

[Dr. Michael D. Frick @sinopeer]

China:
-World's largest producer of scientific articles and #patent applications
-In 2021, 84 % of worldwide #blockchain patent applications were from China

⇨⇦ Quantitative S&T indicators are important but shouldn't be the sole basis by which we judge China's S&T capabilities

[Dr. Michael D. Frick @sinopeer]

China has a preference for top-down centralized science and technology planning and is overly focused on quantitative science and technology indicators for both performance assessment and personnel decisions.
