Abstract

The main objective of this work is to understand the securitization of Chinese cyberspace during the government of President Xi Jinping, considering the concept of securitization from a broader view that is adopted by Beijing throughout the 21st century. For this, the development of cyberspace as an environment to be securitized was first analyzed and how it became part of the power game between nations. Subsequently it was observed the development of this in China and how it was managed by the Chinese Communist Party domestically for civil and economic purposes. Finally, the use of cyberspace as a tool at the military and diplomatic level during the government of Xi Jinping. During the work, the Idea is explored that the current cyberspace policy is the result of economic, social and political factors that go back to periods prior to the arrival of the internet in the country but that at the same time breaks with the economic and diplomatic projects followed since the government of Deng Xiaoping.
