Abstract: Snowden’s leaks has triggered wide domestic and international criticism of US cyber security strategy. The Obama administration has adjusted the range and the acquisition mode of the cyber intelligence and actively sought the understanding and support of the domestic and the international communities. These adjustments include emphasizing the protection of cyber security of the private sectors, promoting cyber security information sharing between the government and enterprises, broadening the applications of juridical and economic measures, establishing code for international conducts in cyber space, and promoting cooperation in cyber security among allies and partners. These adjustments indicate its intention to regulate and contain China. China should seek to handle the cyber issues within the framework of China-US New Model of Major Power Relations and create an atmosphere of cooperation, so as to set up effective agenda and effectively guide the China-US cyber security relations.
