Description

China’s Personal Information Protection Law, which will come into force on the 1st day of November 2021, addresses the rising significance of data information integrity to individuals and the state. Information protection issues are at the forefront of theoretical research. This paper employs the state feminist theory that focuses on human rights such as emotion and dignity to identify several issues to be improved in the Personal Information Protection Law. Based on feminism, the personal information protection law needs to protect interests and personal security, and other rights. It was also generating some neglected, unrecorded data while protecting existing rights. In addition to the regulation of individuals, the regulation of legal persons should also be implemented. This paper will propose corresponding solutions from three aspects: national security, corporate interests, and individual rights. Meanwhile, the government can survey primary data of all people and then give the data to commercial companies to help them transform into a business model that takes customer needs as the source. If the state strengthens the regulation of corporate companies, the problems faced will be simplified, and it will be easy to find people to take responsibility.
