Twenty years after it embraced the internet, China has become a cyber giant, but a weak one vulnerable to a skyrocketing number of threats.

Since China formally became a member of the global internet club on April 20, 1994, internet users had grown to 618 million at the end of last year, the largest number in the world. However, due to the lack of technology, experience and strong teams to counter online crime, China finds itself embroiled in cyber security threats from both within and outside the country, especially from the West.
