The white paper, in several places, notes that Chinese enterprises have made a great effort to tap into oversea markets in terms of information infrastructure construction and e-commerce development. They have made great contributions to global internet development. However, some Chinese enterprises, such as Huawei, have come across restrictions in some countries. What's your comment on this? Thank you. 

Cao Shumin:

Thank you for your question. The rapid development of cyberspace and IT across the world is largely due to globalization. However, it is true that some anti-globalization trends are on the rise. I'd like to invite Ms. Qi Xiaoxia to answer this question.

Qi Xiaoxia:

This is a question of public concern and also a question that we should pay attention to. As China's internet industry grows rapidly, Chinese enterprises have engaged in the international market, conducted international cooperation on research and development, and provided a great number of safe, reliable, and quality products and services at a reasonable price, enjoying great popularity worldwide. They have taken an active role in fulfilling social responsibilities, creating plenty of job opportunities for the countries and regions where they are based. Due to a lack of space, the white paper only gives a few examples. 

Some Chinese companies, like Huawei, encountered difficulties in pursuing overseas business development. The reasons behind it are clear. Certain countries wantonly imposed export controls on China under the pretext of "national security" and deliberately blocked and suppressed Chinese companies, which infringed upon their legitimate rights and interests and severely disrupted the stability of global industrial and supply chains.

The white paper made it clear that the Chinese government opposes the politicization of technical issues and the containment of other countries' enterprises by abusing state power and violating market principles and trading rules.

We can see that under the current situation, global economic recovery faces multiple challenges and risks. What the international community urgently needs is unity, not division. We should tide over difficulties together instead of provoking confrontation. That is, those who call for decoupling, sever supply chains, and stoke division and confrontation, will only hurt themselves and other countries. Win-win cooperation is the only right path. Thank you.
