The research conducts a detailed comparison between the cybersecurity stratgies of China and the United States. The research examines separate political ideologies and economic requirements and cultural elements which shape how each country approaches cybersecurity through diverse policy materials and academic literature and case examples. The analysis investigates how America and China protect their digital infrastructure through different cybersecurity approaches and what the international security consequences are. What possible ways for cooperation and potential cyber conflicts are available? The United States advances a free internet system which requires collaborative stakeholder engagement, advance threat mitigation capabilities, and alliances with international entities to support technological development together with digital accessibility. China supports cyber sovereignty by implementing strict state control and native technological development and extensive electronic surveillance of all its territory. The research aims to give important knowledge that will help officials together with cybersecurity experts and academic scholars strengthen worldwide digital resilience while directing future cybersecurity policy advancement.
