Today’s digital economy has gradually emerged as a new engine of innovation for China’s economic growth. However, while injecting new vitality into the Chinese economy, digital globalization has also brought a series of challenges to China, such as data security, digital divide, unregulated competition among digital platforms, and a lack of mechanisms for protecting property rights. These issues underscore China's insufficient capacity for effectively regulating and systematically governing the digital economy. In contrast, South Korean government has implemented the ‘Korea Digital Strategy’ (KDS) and the ‘Basic Law for Promoting the Revitalization and Utilization of Data’ (Data Industry Act) to foster the development of the digital economy industry. These measures effectively solve the problems of digital industry development and governance, and thus improve the legal system of South Korea’s digital economy. Therefore, this study compares the construction of digital economy legal system in China and South Korea through comparative analysis, summarizes the experience of digital economy legal system construction in South Korea, and offers three insights for the development of China’s digital economy legal system. Firstly, China needs to improve the coordination of its laws for the digital economy, avoid repetitive and overlapping legislation, and enhance the scientificity and authority of legislation; Secondly, China needs to adopt a systematic and comprehensive approach to legislating and governing the digital economy, ensuring the consistency and coherence of the system; Thirdly, China needs to conduct more basic research, pay attention to the ethical and legal implications, and keep the legal system up to date, so as to ensure the effectiveness of the law.
当今数字经济逐渐成为了推动中国经济增长的新引擎。然而,数字全球化在为中国经 济注入新动能的同时,也给中国带来了数据安全、数字鸿沟、数字平台无序竞争和产权保 护机制的缺失等一系列问题,凸显了中国对数字经济进行有效监管和系统性治理的能力不 足。相比之下,韩国政府为促进数字经济产业的发展,已实施了《大韩民国数字战略》和 《数据产业振兴和利用促进基本法》。这些措施有效解决了数字产业发展和治理问题,进 而完善了韩国数字经济的法律制度体系。为此,本研究通过比较分析的方法,比较了中韩 两国数字经济法律制度的建设情况,总结了韩国数字经济法律制度建设的经验,并为中国 数字经济法律制度的建设提供了三个方面的启示。第一,中国应强化数字经济法律制度的 整合,避免重复立法和多头立法,提升立法的科学性与权威性;第二,中国应加强数字经 济的系统立法和综合治理,确保制度的系统性;第三,中国应强化基础研究,注重伦理与 法律结合,持续做好法律制度的更新工作,以确保法律实效性。
