Abstract
Background. Data security is a condition for the normal functioning of state and society. In the context of digitalization of all aspects of communication, ensuring data security ceases to be a private matter of its owner and holder, becoming one of the central tasks of public administration. The main goal of the study is to determine the features of legal support for data security, and taking into account the importance of comparative studies, the emphasis is placed on exploring the practices in the People’s Republic of China. Materials and methods. The empirical base of the article includes the Russian and foreign doctrinal sources (where priority is given to the authors from the PRC), as well as statistical data on using digital technologies in the world. The comparative legal method is used, which enables highlighting the main provisions of the 2021 Data Security Law of the People’s Republic of China. Results. The article emphasizes the need for state protection of citizens’ rights, one of the ways of which is to introduce the national digital segment. This has led to the emergence of the special concept of the “Internet Balkanization”, which also extends to the legal regime of data. The article indicates that finding a balance is a difficult path, but thanks to it the consensus is possible, which will affect the international exchange of data, their overall protection during processing and various use. Conclusions. The article proves that digital data in the modern world are the basis for building communications in all areas of public interaction. Digitalization is a trend of modern development, which also governs the processes taking place in law and state. Data security is both a condition for normal interpersonal interaction, a ground for building a global digital economy and a basis of public administration. The ultimate example of building a national cybersecurity system is the PRC model, which centers such values as national security and digital sovereignty.
