Differences,causes,and consequences of global data governance between China and the United States
China and the United States are major countries in data resources and digital economy,and play a crucial role in global data governance.There are fundamental differences between China and the United States in the selection of data governance methods,primary goals,policy core,and conceptual direction.China participates through"multilateralism",while the United States forms a data alliance through"pseudo multilateralism";China prioritizes data sovereignty and security as the primary goal of global data governance,while the United States prioritizes the pursuit of digital business interests;China adheres to a policy of data localization,while the United States promotes a policy of data liberalization;China advocates the concept of a community with a shared future,while the United States adheres to the zero-sum game theory of data hegemony.The differences in global data governance policies between China and the United States are influenced by historical and cultural differences,differences in data strength,and digital geopolitical games.The data hegemony of the United States is the biggest obstacle to global data governance,bringing significant uncertainty to future global data governance.Only when the United States abandons its data hegemony policy can China and the United States engage in deeper cooperation in the field of data governance.
