Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian presided over the regular press conference on July 22. At the meeting, a reporter asked a question saying that this week, China submitted the “China Position Paper on Global Cyber Governance in the Digital Era” to the first meeting of the United Nations Standing Mechanism for Global Cybersecurity. Can the speaker explain the situation? Lin Jian said that as the latest step to implement global governance initiatives and promote the building of a community of destiny in cyberspace, China recently submitted a position paper to the United Nations global cybersecurity mechanism, explaining the latest positions and propositions on global cyber governance in the digital intelligence era. Lin Jian said that the document advocates respecting the digital sovereignty of all countries and promoting inclusive development. Countries have the right to independently choose the development path of digital intelligence technology, including artificial intelligence, based on national conditions, and have the right to independently choose artificial intelligence technology, products and services, and should not be coerced to stand on the sidelines. Following cyber sovereignty, this is another important principle put forward by China on global cyber governance. The document also emphasizes that all countries in cyberspace should abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter to jointly maintain peace and stability in cyberspace; calls for adhering to multilateralism, effectively dealing with the disruptive impact of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence on cybersecurity, and formulating new international rules on cybersecurity as they evolve with the times. Lin Jian said that China is willing to strengthen cooperation with all parties, promote the development of the international order in cyberspace in a more just, rational and effective direction, and jointly build a community of destiny in cyberspace.
