Chang (City U. of Hong Kong) draws on interviews with officials, academics, and others in the private sector undertaken between 2008 and 2009 in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong to consider cybercrime across the Taiwan Strait. He examines how international conventions and agreements work in dealing with cybercrime in the Greater China region, and in what situations Taiwan and China will cooperate with each other against cybercrime, as well as how third parties like international companies and nongovernmental organizations can aid in its investigation and prevention. He discusses the extent and nature of cybercrime in and between Taiwan and China, especially the prevalence of collections of computers that have been compromised and used for malicious purposes, and notes that the sensitive political situation between the two governments makes cybercrime more difficult to address, as he discusses their relations and the legal status of Taiwan. He uses routine activity theory to analyze Chinese and Taiwanese legal responses to cybercrime, and argues for a wiki approach to cybercrime and a pre-warning system, drawing from lessons learned in infectious disease prevention and aviation safety reporting to propose an information security incident reporting and response system. He focuses on new types of crime, such as hacking, malicious activities, and issues related to information security protection, and cybercrime against government agencies and private companies, rather than conventional crimes like online drug dealing, child pornography, illegal online gambling, or fraud.
