Public-Private Cooperation in Transnational Cybercrime Governance: Major Dilemmas and Solutions

Abstract

Driven by the wave of global digitization, transnational cybercrime is becoming increasingly intelligent, hidden and globalized, posing a serious threat to national security and social stability. The traditional governance model relying on the public sector is no longer able to cope with the complex and ever-changing forms of cybercrime, and the public-private partnership model has gradually become a significant path for transnational cybercrime governance because of its resource integration and technological advantages. However, the model is currently facing multiple obstacles in practice, such as data sovereignty disputes, cross-border law enforcement conflicts, lagging legal systems, corporate compliance pressure and lack of trust. In view of it, this paper deeply analyses the main dilemmas faced by China’s public-private partnership mechanism in practice, and puts forward feasible countermeasures such as constructing a global data governance framework, perfecting the cross-border data sharing mechanism, sounding the legal and compliance system, and reshaping the relationship of public-private trust, etc., so as to perfect the transnational cybercrime governance system for China. This study provides theoretical support and practical paths for China to improve its transnational cybercrime governance system and enhance the effectiveness of digital governance.
