Starting September 14, the cybersecurity departments at both prefecture and county levels in the Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province have launched a coordinated series of activities for the "Rule of Law Day" during the 2026 National Cybersecurity Awareness Week. Centered on the theme "Cybersecurity for the People, Cybersecurity by the People—Safeguarding the Intelligent Era," the initiative delivers cybersecurity legal education directly to government offices, street-level businesses, and pastoral settlement areas, aiming to strengthen the legal awareness and self-protection capabilities of all ethnic groups in the region.
During the campaign, the Cybersecurity Detachment of the Golog Prefecture Public Security Bureau took the lead in organizing concentrated lectures for staff of local enterprises and public institutions, as well as resident representatives. The sessions focused on core regulations including the Cybersecurity Law of the People's Republic of China, the Data Security Law of the People's Republic of China, and the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China. Using real-world cases such as AI face-swapping fraud, large-scale data breaches, and cross-border cybercrime, the instructors explained legal provisions through practical examples and answered questions about common online risks encountered in daily internet use, helping participants accurately identify emerging threats in the intelligent era.
The cybersecurity units of each county adapted their outreach strategies to the unique conditions of the high-altitude pastoral areas, designing practical and relatable offline activities. In Maqin County and Jigzhi County, the teams set up themed display boards and banners at central squares and high-traffic areas, using simple language to teach herders how to spot AI-manipulated scams, identify misleading short video content, and guard against unfamiliar transfer requests.
Meanwhile, teams in Madoi County, Gade County, and Banma County dispatched officers to pastoral settlements, township markets, and roadside shops. Through door-to-door visits and mobile street-side sessions, they provided face-to-face guidance on mobile payment security, privacy protection in social apps, online transaction risk prevention, and channels for reporting cyber violations.
In Dari County, the cybersecurity unit simultaneously leveraged government social media platforms and village group chat channels to continuously push awareness-raising cases and educational content online, further broadening the reach of the campaign.
This series of activities deliberately moved away from rigid recitations of legal text, instead focusing on the new types of online traps enabled by intelligent technology. Through storytelling-based legal explanations, on-site Q&A, and personal interactions, the initiative embedded cybersecurity laws and regulations into the daily lives of pastoral communities. The goal is to foster a sound cybersecurity mindset among the public, encourage lawful and responsible internet use, and jointly preserve a clean and orderly local cyberspace.
