The 'Rights Block' — Xu Ke's Structural Theory Behind China's Data-Property Framework
Xu Ke's highly-cited (255×) 政法论坛 article on the structure of data rights — the theoretical scaffolding that the Data 20 Articles' three-rights framework rests on. He maps the field's two warring paradigms (formalist 'empowerment' vs substantivist 'conduct regulation'), argues both fail alone, and integrates them via a 'reflexive law' approach. The payoff is a taxonomy of three possible rights structures — rights-ball, rights-bundle, rights-block — and the case that the 'data rights block' (数据权利块) best fits data's 'one principle, many manifestations' character. For overseas counsel, this is the conceptual map that explains why Chinese data rights are structured the way they are — and why Western property and IP analogies keep failing.
