World vision for internet cooperation key to WIC

The release of the document not only offered specific guidance on China’s future internet development, but also reaffirmed China’s position on global internet development, said Wu Hequan, an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

On Oct 16, two days before the opening of the sixth World Internet Conference, the organizing committee of the conference published the document, Jointly Build a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace.

The vision for building an online community with a shared future was unveiled by Chinese President Xi Jinping at the second World Internet Conference in 2015.

At the conference, President Xi elaborated on the four principles and made a five-point proposal concerning internet development and governance.

According to Wu, building a community with a shared future in cyberspace is the embodiment of the vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind.

“Cyberspace is an indispensable part of modern society and connects all human beings together,” he said.

The vision has drawn the attention and recognition of the world and become a permanent theme at the World Internet Conference.

In response to the expectations of all concerned parties, Jointly Build a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace fully expounds on the background, fundamental principles, the path to realization, and the governance framework for this vision.
