The white paper summarizes the philosophy and practice of law-based cyberspace governance since China became fully connected to the internet, particularly since China has entered a new era, contributing Chinese solutions and wisdom to global internet governance. As such, what were the major considerations for releasing the white paper "China's Law-Based Cyberspace Governance in the New Era"? Thank you.

Cao Shumin:

Thank you. I will answer the question. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has put forward a range of new philosophies, thoughts, and strategies in the great practice of law-based governance on all fronts and building cyberspace strength, and formed Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law and the important ideas of General Secretary Xi Jinping on building China's strength in cyberspace. These thoughts have guided China to further enhance law-based cyberspace governance. The law-based cyberspace governance system with Chinese characteristics has continued to improve. Cyber legislation, law enforcement, and judiciary work have advanced alongside programs to spread legal knowledge via the internet. We have deepened international exchange and cooperation on this front. Historic achievements in law-based cyberspace governance have been made in the new era. A trail has been blazed in law-based cyberspace governance with Chinese characteristics in line with international best practices. 

Releasing the white paper "China's Law-Based Cyberspace Governance in the New Era" is conducive to domestic and international understanding of China's law-based cyberspace governance. Thank you.
