Xing Huina:
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. Welcome to this press conference held by the State Council Information Office (SCIO). Today, the SCIO published a white paper titled "Jointly Build a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace," and organized this press conference to introduce and interpret its main content.
The white paper fully implements Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, thoroughly puts into practice the guiding principles from the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and provides a comprehensive picture of the achievements in the development and management of the internet in China since the 18th CPC National Congress. The document elaborates on China's concepts, actions and contributions in strengthening international communication and cooperation in cyberspace and promoting the building of a community with a shared future in cyberspace. It also puts forward China's proposals on creating a community with a shared future in cyberspace.
At around 24,000 Chinese characters, the white paper consists of preface, main body and conclusion. The main body is divided into four parts: "Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace Is Essential in the Information Age," "Development and Management of the Internet in China," "China's Contribution to Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace" and "China's Proposals on Creating a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace."
The white paper is published in eight languages — Chinese, English, French, Russian, German, Spanish, Arabic and Japanese — by the People's Publishing House and Foreign Languages Press. It is available at Xinhua Bookstore outlets across the country.
To help you better understand the white paper, we have invited Ms. Cao Shumin, vice minister of the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC); Ms. Qi Xiaoxia, director general of the International Cooperation Bureau of the CAC; Mr. Yang Shuzhen, director general of the Policy Research Bureau of the CAC; Ms. Sun Weimin, director general of the Cybersecurity Coordination Bureau of the CAC; Mr. Wang Song, director general of the Informatization Development Bureau of the CAC; and Mr. Chen Renze, an official of the Cyber Communication Bureau of the CAC. They will brief you on relevant information and then take your questions.
Now, I'll give the floor to Ms. Cao Shumin.
