This work examines the most pressing and contentious issues in cybercrime currently facing the China and Vietnam, and how best to tackle them. The text sets the context for how blocs of nations (including the least ready, the most ready, and those occupying a central position in terms of cybercrime readiness) react to the evolving challenges of cybercrime, with a focus on prevention and control. In this way, the work discusses why certain blocs of nations in the Asia-Pacific region are not at an optimal level of cybercrime readiness despite the rapid pace of technological advancement in this region, and how such nations can become regional leaders in cybercrime readiness.
