China has intensified its focus on cybersecurity through both administrative enforcement and public awareness initiatives. The Ministry of Public Security released details regarding the ‘Hu Wang—2026’ special operation, which involved over 7,900 inspections and the rectification of approximately 38,000 security vulnerabilities. These enforcement actions targeted failures in data security, personal information protection, and network safety management across multiple provinces.

Parallel to these enforcement efforts, the 2026 National Cybersecurity Awareness Week was launched to promote digital literacy and address emerging technological risks. The campaign emphasizes the security and controllability of artificial intelligence, highlighted by the release of the ‘Artificial Intelligence Security Governance Framework 3.0’. Educational efforts have also been directed toward minors, following reports that a high percentage of underage netizens use AI without the ability to identify algorithmic bias or ethical boundaries.
