Annotation There can be no state sovereignty without information sovereignty. The Chinese Government understands this well and during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the whole world “went online”, adopted several laws designed to regulate the country\'s information policy in the media sphere. At the time of writing, China has a new legislation in the field of information security. The most crucial laws in information and cyber sphere are the Law \"On Data Security\", \"On Personal Data Protection\", and the Law \"On Cyberspace\", the first two of which are developed to supplement and improve the application of the Law \"On Cybersecurity\" adopted in 2017. However, the adoption of these laws entailed a number of problems for Chinese tech-goliaths and caused a wave of international criticism. This article examines the key provisions of the new set of China\'s legal framework in the field of information security and analyzes the prospects for its further development. Materials and methods. Formal legal methods of analyzing Chinese legislation in the information and cyber spheres are involved, scientific and general scientific methods of cognition of the specifics of China\'s national legislation in the field of ensuring the protection of national and information security and state sovereignty are usedin this paper. Results of the study. The new information legislation of China traces the same vector of state policy aimed at protecting national sovereignty by ensuring a data security system regulated by the Chinese Government and their localization on the territory of the country. China considers the data accumulated by private companies as a national asset, the use of which should be carried out or restricted in accordance with Chinese laws. However, most of the law needs to supplement and expand some terms due to the threat of legal uncertainty and the creation of a legal vacuum for manipulation
