The Dazhi Forum: Global Observation on Internet Law (2021-2022) was held in south China’s Guangzhou city and broadcast live in Beijing Saturday to identify legal and regulatory challenges presented by the internet and explore effective solutions. 

At the opening ceremony, You Xueyun with the Cyberspace Administration of China said that the forum could promote sound and orderly development of China's internet industry by discussing the digital economy, digital rules, personal information, and anti-monopoly rules for the platform economy.

Zhang Daoyang with the State Administration for Market Regulation touched on e-commerce management and regulation and the revision of the anti-trust law and e-commerce law for healthier e-business development.

Other guests, including Zhu Li, deputy chief judge of the intellectual property tribunal of China's Supreme People's Court, and Li Chisen, deputy chief judge of Guangzhou Intellectual Property Court, also delivered speeches at the opening ceremony.

During the forum, a report was released under the same name.

The report comprises four key areas of focus: digital rules and personal information protection; e-commerce laws; developments in platform economy anti-monopoly; and open-source laws of internet platforms. Problems concerning the four aspects were identified in the report, and suggestions for improvement were explored and analyzed.

Following the release of the report, Li Qing, deputy secretary-general of the China Society of Economic Reform; Wang Jiandong with the Department of Big Data Development of the State Information Center; Zhao Hong, professor with the Law School of Peking University; and Zhao Xiaohai, deputy director of Legal Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of Peking University, all gave keynote speeches. Their insights covered topics such as reforming market-based allocation of data factors and making legal services more intelligent.

The forum also featured four parallel panel discussions concentrating on the four areas highlighted in the Dazhi Forum Report. Law professors, law department directors, and other legal practitioners exchanged views on upgrading internet regulations and improving internet governance.

Being the second edition, the forum was co-hosted by the Law School of Peking University, the Intellectual Property Development Research Institute of Peking University in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the China Legal Exchange Foundation.
