  • Enforcement

    执法与处罚

    Public enforcement actions by Chinese data regulators — MIIT's batched APP / SDK public-naming bulletins, CAC administrative penalties, MPS criminal-tier enforcement, regulatory interviews (约谈), app-store removals, and other published actions. DCC tracks these as the operational edge of the regime: they show what the regulator actually polices, in what cadence, against what targets, citing which legal bases.

    未成年人保护

  • Data Economy

    数据要素与数据产权

    China's emerging regulatory framework for treating data as an economic factor of production — public-data resources, data-property rights, data-asset registration, and the rules governing how data can be authorized for operation, traded, and circulated. Distinct from data security and personal-information protection, this domain tracks the rules that turn data into a tradeable asset.
