Today, privacy is one of the most hotly debated topics worldwide. The
book aims to balance the development of personal rights in a country
that has historically valued collective rights over those of the
individual. The protection of privacy is not an issue that has been
emphasised during the rapid development of economic laws in China.
However, the accompanying development of greater government-based
regulation of these laws' implementation has led to greater invasions of
personal privacy.
This study attempts to provide a way forward for China to address the
ever-increasing concerns about the protection of privacy and puts
forward a legislative model for protection.
This is achieved after a thorough analysis of the threats to privacy
protection in China, a critical evaluation of the level of current
privacy protection in China, and an analysis of the privacy laws in a
series of developed nations based on common law and civil law.
