China's Xi Says Country Will Not Close Door To Global Internet by Joshuamassodi(m): 10:35pm On Dec 03, 2017 |
China's Xi says country will
not close door to global
internet
Chinese President Xi
Jinping said on Sunday the country will not
close its door to the global internet, but
that cyber sovereignty is key in its vision of
internet development.
Xi's comments were read by Huang
Kunming, head of the Chinese Communist
Party's publicity department at the
country's largest public cyber policy forum
in the town of Wuzhen in eastern China.
"The development of China's cyberspace is
entering a fast lane...China's doors will only
become more and more open," said Xi in
the note.
Cyber sovereignty is the idea that states
should be permitted to manage and
contain their own internet without
external interference.
China's Communist Party has tightened
cyber regulation in the past year,
formalizing new rules that require firms to
store data locally and censor tools that
allow users to subvert the Great Firewall.
In June, China introduced a new national
cybersecurity law that requires foreign
firms to store data locally and submit to
data surveillance measures.

Cyber regulators say the laws are in line
with international rules, and that they are
designed to protect personal privacy and
counter attacks on core infrastructure.
Business groups say the rules unfairly
target foreign firms.
China has advocated strongly for a larger
role in global internet governance under Xi.
"China stands ready to develop new rules
and systems of internet governance to
serve all parties and counteract current
imbalances," said Wang Huning, a member
of the Communist Party standing
committee at the event on Sunday.
The conference, which is overseen by the
Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC)
invited foreign executives, Apple Inc's CEO
Tim Cook and Google Inc chief Sundar
Pichai as well as a Facebook Inc executive.
Google and Facebook are banned in China,
along with Twitter Inc and most major
western news outlets.
Top executives from Alibaba Group Holding
Ltd, Tencent Holdings Ltd and Baidu Inc
also attended the forum |
