The construction of China’s Internet rule of law has been actively adapting to the trends and characteristics of Internet development and is committed to governing key issues faced at different stages. It has gone through three stages: the initial stage of Internet law, the rapid development stage of Internet law, and the high-quality development stage of Internet law.

In the early stages of construction, in terms of network interconnection and website interconnection, the “Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on the Security Protection of Computer Information Systems” and the “Computer Information Network International Regulations of the People’s Republic of China” were adopted. “Interim Provisions on Internet Management”, “Interim Measures for the Administration of Internet Domain Name Registration in China” and other regulations related to network infrastructure construction.
