We are stepping into the dawn of the digital era, a period in which data has become a vital resource and a crucial means of production — the “new energy,” even the “lifeblood” of the digital economy.
Digital transformation, with data at its core, is fundamentally reshaping how we live, work, and develop. Our Party and State have long recognized the importance of data. Politburo Resolution No. 52-NQ/TW dated September 27, 2019, on certain guidelines and policies for proactively participating in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, set forth the policy of “Proactively participating in regional and global legal frameworks to develop the digital economy; improving laws and policies on data and data governance, facilitating the creation, connection, sharing, and exploitation of data to ensure national cybersecurity, with the aim of connecting with ASEAN and the international community.” Most recently, Politburo Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024, clearly identified data as the centerpiece of digital transformation and a key driver of development. This Resolution also outlined pilot policies to establish an initial legal framework for promoting the development and utilization of data. On November 30, 2024, the National Assembly passed the Data Law project, with 451 out of 458 (94.15%) deputies present voting in favor. The Law comprises 5 chapters and 46 articles, effective July 1, 2025. The birth of the Data Law marks a pivotal milestone in developing and perfecting the national legal framework, especially in the context of extensive digital transformation across all aspects of social life. The Law not only establishes a transparent and clear legal corridor for managing, exploiting, using, sharing, and protecting data but also demonstrates the strong political will of the Party and State in building a modern, effective, and efficient digital economy, digital society, and digital government. For the People’s Public Security forces, the Data Law carries special significance, serving as both a legal foundation and a comprehensive guide for safeguarding data security and national digital sovereignty in the digital era. The contest to study the Data Law in the People’s Public Security is an especially important political activity, taking place while the entire force is promoting comprehensive digital transformation, modernizing the organizational apparatus, and enhancing capabilities in data management and utilization to serve operational, combat, and force-building needs. This is not only an opportunity for each officer and soldier to better understand the role and position of data in the digital age, but also a chance to cultivate legal knowledge, raise awareness of responsibility, foster self-study and research, and actively apply data in practical work. The contest helps spread the spirit of “supremacy of the law,” promotes serious and effective implementation of the Data Law throughout the force, especially in protecting citizens’ legitimate rights and interests, ensuring data security, safeguarding information confidentiality, combating cybercrime, and strengthening rapid response capacity against non-traditional threats. In particular, through the contest, the People’s Public Security force has another opportunity to affirm its pioneering role in creating a safe, healthy, and disciplined legal environment in cyberspace, worthy of being the “steel shield” defending the Fatherland in the digital era. Responding to the “Studying the Data Law in the People’s Public Security” contest organized by the Ministry of Public Security and the Ca Mau Provincial Police, the “Green Warriors” team produced an entry consisting of four main volumes answering eight questions posed by the organizers, along with five appendices. Each part has a theme and different messages highlighting the advantages and breakthroughs of this important legal document in reforming data management, ensuring human rights and citizens’ rights, and aligning with digital society management trends.
