  ABSTRACT: Cyberbullying has emerged as a major concern in today’s digital era and is often classified as a type of cybercrime. It jeopardizes digital spaces, contemporary societies, and legal systems. This review compares the legal frameworks governing cyberbullying in China and Guyana, emphasizing how China’s Criminal Law and Guyana’s cybercrime laws address the issue. While neither country has laws specifically criminalizing cyberbullying, both use general legal provisions related to defamation, harassment, privacy protection, coercion, intimidation, and humiliation. This study reveals key gaps in both legal frameworks, proposing that China adopt a unified cybercrime law explicitly criminalizing cyberbullying and that Guyana incorporate clear, targeted provisions for this offence. The paper contributes to the discourse by offering legal reform recommendations to combat cyberbullying in both countries.
