Secondly, the theory, minimum government involvement, is only a guideline, which is made to follow by states in a voluntary way. Furthermore it is no possible to fulfill a uniform theory inside different countries. As we discussed above, countries have their different cultures which cause one result, that is, it will be little feasible if the theory is not fit their own cultures. Also, it has been admitted by many states and organizations, OECD is one of them, which published a report. It said the following: “in the case of newly industrializing and developing countries, governments should be encouraged to take a creative role in promoting Electronic Commerce. In this context, public interventions of various kinds can act as important catalysts for the diffusion of Electronic Commerce application in the private sector.” Delightfully this has shown its more open attitude to accept the choice made by different countries, which may be more fit for their own situation.
2.4 E-commerce Will Benefit from Applicable Information Control
When we limit our sight on the E-commerce, even it is described optimistically, we will have an ambivalent attitude to the information control, which is both positive and negative. The state is accepted that E-commerce is a new economic developing point whilst, in fact, the development of E-commerce is still uncertain compared with other forms of economy when they were new. Even worse in 2000 when the myth of “.com company” was dashed to the ground overturn the total value of those companies decreased highly. There is a report from DASDAQ, an American main high tech stock market, from .
In China, particularly, E-commerce is banded not by the government policy but by the suspicion of customers who intend to buy or pay through Internet. In general, E-commerce should be supported by three main systems, which are purchase system, payment system, and delivery system. Admittedly E-commerce won’t work well without any of these three supports. Currently people prefer to pay with a physic note instead of electronic one because consumer is lack of confidence in shopping on-line. “This is probably caused by two of the main risks which consumers face when they shop on-line, namely: 1. That someone might use a consumer’s payment card information to make fraudulent purchases for which the consumer will be held liable, and 2. That merchants, having received payment, will not perform their side of the contract or perform it defectively, and consumer fear being left without a remedy ot with a remedy that is difficult to enforce.” In order to solve this issue, or reduce at least, confidence of consumers must be strengthened, if it hasn’t been built. From the government point of view, to survey and control information flow is the best way to do this job nowadays, which is backed the new legislation. Then Chinese government does not release the control of Internet if it is not enhanced. It is obviously that payment on-line works by encryption data invisibly so, in this manner, it is open to fraud without effective control. Generally emphasizing free information flow isn’t wrong on the one hand in commonsense there doesn’t exist so-called absolute freedom in any area on the other hand. The question is, when there is no trust between the transaction parties, how can we give the confidence to each party to improve E-commerce. This question is easy to ask but it is difficult to answer. With respect to this, probably it needs the third non-profit party, which is the government hitherto, to supervise the information flow through the Internet, by which it can recorder the detail of both of the two, or more parties. Of course, sometimes, this method may shatter a little the privacy and liberty of human or legal person whilst it is doubtlessly a useful and workable makeshift if there is no long-term solution. 经济危机,就是过度自由的恶果.As a result Chinese government has issued several regulations to lead the development of E-commerce such as ……., meanwhile it is influenced by the US and the EU for they previously published some regulations, ….. It is easy to understand these regulations, which seem a little tight, may impact Chinese E-commerce currently it will influence E-commerce remarkably in a positive way. There is an example that 中国的电子商务的发展态势,以此表明中国电子商务政策的积极意义.
