BEIJING: While upholding independence, equality and mutual respect, China will continue to increase international exchange and cooperation on law-based cyberspace governance so more people can benefit from the internet, officials and experts said.
“We stand ready to partner with all other countries to explore effective ways to make the internet more beneficial to humanity and contribute to building a fair, open, inclusive, safe, stable and energetic cyberspace,” Cao Shumin, vice-minister of the Cyberspace Administration of China, said while introducing a white paper on the matter at a recent news conference.
Titled “China’s Law-Based Cyberspace Governance in the New Era”, the white paper was issued by the State Council Information Office on March 16. It demonstrates China’s efforts to boost cyberspace governance by improving legislation, enhancing public awareness and strengthening international exchange over nearly 30 years.
Cao said the rule of law has helped the developing country with the largest number of internet users in the world innovate and blaze its own trail of law-based cyberspace governance that observes both Chinese specificities and international norms.
She also said that China has played an active role in international cyberspace rulemaking, contributing ideas and solutions to global internet development.
