At the meeting, Associate Professor Yang Zhiqiong of Southeast University Law School was invited to speak on the article Reinterpretation of Data Crime System Based on the Legal Benefits of Data Security, which won the first prize of this year's Yangtze River Delta Law Forum.

Associate Professor Yang Zhiqiong pointed out that in recent years, the data security risk caused by digital crime technology is alarming, and the data crime hidden in the computer crime began to attract the attention of the academic community. The deeper reason for the judicial problem of data crime in practice lies in the unclear positioning of the legal interest of data crime protection, which leads to the interpretation and application of data crime not being able to break away from the legal interest of computer information system security. Associate Professor Yang Zhiqiong advocates that the legal interest of data security should be regarded as the legal interest of data crime protection, and the legal interest of data security aims to protect the three aspects of data utilization. In terms of specific judicial application, it is advocated that the constituent elements of data crimes should be interpreted in accordance with the legal interest of data security. In the future, the boundaries of data crime should be reasonably limited according to the function of data security law interests and the existing legislation.

Professor Ouyang Benqi was invited to comment on the session of Research on Joint Prevention and Control of New Cybercrime. He proposed that cybercrime is mainly divided into two categories: crimes with the network as the object of crime and crimes with the network as the tool of crime. In the digital era, cybercrime is the focus of current and future research, and gave detailed comments and high evaluation to the three guest speakers.

In addition, Zhao Yi's On the reasonable treatment of personal information disclosed according to the law and Fang Junqi's Typology and criminal law regulation of the new type of cyber crime won the second prize of the 19th Yangtze River Delta Law Forum respectively.
