Abstract

The Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China was a major step forward in advancing cybercrime regulations and punishment. While this change shed light on the Chinese legislature’s determination to combat crimes committed via information networks through ways of refining the types of cybercrimes in the face of growing new criminal acts in cyberspace, limitations remain in the face of evolving new cybercrime cases. This article takes a deeper look at the similarities and differences in the cybercrime legislation of China and Canada. It draws attention to their legislative considerations, processes, and cybercrime patterns, both existing and predicted. On the whole, China’s innovative addition of a “principalized” aiding cybercrime in the Criminal Law requires further reflection in its regulatory technologies, clearer definitions of certain terms in the articles, setting judging standards to cases, and limiting the scope of penalty for neutral acts of assistance.
