LEGAL REGULATION OF CHINA'S TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROSPECTS FOR UKRAINE

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to examine the system of legal regulation of technological development of the People's Republic of China in the context of the implementation of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030) and to develop scientifically grounded recommendations for improving Ukrainian legislation in the field of technological security. Research methods: comparative legal analysis was employed, as well as methods of systemic and functional approaches. Results: the ideological foundation of the concept of "new quality productive forces", which acquired constitutional status, was analyzed; the three-phase model of legal regulation of technologies (deregulation → systemic legislation → global leadership) was investigated; the legal architecture regulating artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, neural interfaces, and hydrogen energy was revealed; the principle of "double standard" for state and private entities was identified; the doctrine of "civil-military fusion" was examined as a key legal mechanism for dual-use technologies; it was established that the PRC surpassed the EU in adopting sectoral acts on AI regulation. Discussion: recommendations for legislative and regulatory policy of Ukraine in the technological sphere under martial law and the European integration course were formulated, in particular: adoption of the Law on Artificial Intelligence based on the EU AI Act; implementation of quantum-resistant encryption according to NIST standards; regulation of dual-use technologies through export control; creation of an Interagency Center for Technological Security; introduction of "regulatory sandboxes"; threats to Ukraine related to the civil-military fusion doctrine, the quantum threat of "Q-Day", and technological dependence through 6G standards and the "Beidou" system were identified.
