Only rule of law can block loopholes and guarantee order in cyberspace

A CYBERSECURITY LAW that more clearly defines information infrastructure and lists punitive measures for those attacking China's key information infrastructure has been approved by the Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress, China's top legislature, and will come into effect on June 1, 2017. Beijing Youth Daily comments:
Everybody can be the victim of online fraud. According to official reports, cyber crimes accounted for almost one-third of all the criminal cases in China.
In contrast to the rampant cyber crimes there has been the lack of a law to regulate online activities. That has not only made it difficult to solve disputes and punish wrongdoers, it has also posed a challenge to the existing laws.
