This poster presents a research study, which aims to study how territoriality hinders interagency government data sharing (IDS) in China. Aiming at establishing a theoretical basis for future studies, this study employed a structured literature review approach, which consisted a systematic literature search, a liter- ature screening and a thematic analysis. A total of 1,495 articles were retrieved from the China Academic Journal Network Publishing Database (CAJD) and the China Science Periodical Database (CSPD). After screening, 55 articles were in- cluded and analysed using a thematic approach. The literature analysis identified that government agencies presented collective behaviours of territory marking and defending, which are resulted by a TIAO-KUAI government structure and a proprietary data ownership. This poster provides a perspective on the IDS devel- opment in China and offers useful insights which can be shared across international borders
