The lack of a unified and dedicated law has made it diffi cult to curb the illegal collection and use of personal information in a country with the worlds largest population of Internet users.

To strengthen the protection of individuals right to privacy， the National Peoples Congress， Chinas top legislature， will formulate a law on personal information protection this year， according to the annual work report of its standing committee.

The government should also come up with measures and penalties to build a secure and comprehensive law network.

Emphasis should be placed on the classification of personal information according to different scenarios. For instance， in response to public health emergencies， data such as name， date of birth， address and other necessary personal information should be identifi ed as a particular type of information with specific protection. Genetic， biological and medical data should enjoy a higher level of security.
