The year 2017 was a milestone in the development of cyber rule of law in China：the Cybersecurity Law came into force and timely inspections on the enforcement of the law had been carried out by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress；a series of supporting administrative rules and regulations and other normative documents had been either promulgated for implement or released for soliciting public opinions；and a framework of cyber rule of law had been established and gradually elaborated in China. However，because of its dependence on information technology，the cyber rule of law has been constantly faced with new challenges and new tasks posed by new technologies，new forms of industry and new business modes.
