Cyberspace has been regulated rapidly everywhere. China is constantly used as a reference. How does China create its Cyberlaw regulatory framework? Are these regulations conservative or forward-looking? Are regulations promoting or slowing down Innovation?

Today’s guest Sam Cai is a legal and policy expert in Internet-related legislation, intellectual property rights and WTO rules, involved in different Chinese and international institutions. Currently he acts as Deputy Director and Chief Researcher of Cyberlaw Center at one of the largest tech companies in China.

Sam gave us a big picture of China’s Internet regulations by digging deep into the approaches, limits, and opportunities. The reality is that a lot of International people still believed that a "Chinese partner" is necessary to run business in China while Sam shared that “they are just not aware of the open opportunities”. He also clarified the differences for foreigners and local players from the policy perspective. In the end, he explained the transition from the “Internet +” to the new Internet government plan “New Infrastructure”.
