Editor's Note: The world is wonderful because of the Internet, and life is rich by the Internet. "Promoting the development of China's online telecommunications industry, making the Internet better for the benefit of the people" "Building a good network of ecology, giving play to the role of network-guided public opinion and reflecting public opinion", General Secretary Xi Jinping's symposium on cybersecurity and informationization work on April 19, 2016 The important speech made pointed out the direction for us to promote the construction of a network powerhouse and promote the development of the network. On the occasion of the first anniversary of "4·19 Speech", we will introduce a series of expert special articles on the road to explain the core concept of China's network governance and the "China Program" for Internet global governance.

At present, the global political and economic structure is undergoing major changes. Western academic circles use the "post-truth, post-Western, post-order" to summarize the past world development trend of 2016. In the era of "black swan", the Internet and its social media have played an important role. At a time when the world is changing, we revisit the "4·19 speech" issued by General Secretary Xi Jinping a year ago. I can deeply understand that his overall grasp of the Internet and the development of human society is highly forward-looking and strategic. .

Netcom business responds to opportunities and challenges: General Secretary Xi’s speech reflects China’s wisdom and global vision

As a landmark event in the global Internet governance field of power transfer, on October 1, 2016, the National Telecommunications and Information Bureau, a subsidiary of the US Department of Commerce, decided to officially hand over the management of Internet domain names to non-profit organizations. Distribution Authority" (ICANN). This move announced that the US government has ended its monopoly on the "domain name", the core resource of the Internet for nearly 20 years, and also marks the global governance of the Internet from the "unipolar dominance" of the United States to the path of multilateral cooperation. The radical change of information dissemination mode and the proliferation of fake news on social media platforms have not only rewritten some deep-rooted values ​​and game rules in the political and social systems of European and American countries, but also fundamentally shaken the value foundation and social consensus of Western civilization. This led to the end of the Western-led world order.

General Secretary Xi’s "May 19th Speech", and his speech at the 36th collective study of the implementation of the cyber power strategy in the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee in October 2016, at the opening ceremony of the 3rd World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit The video speech on the same line fully reflects China's global responsibility and “big country responsibility” in cyberspace, and thus has become an important document in building a new global communication order and promoting global governance innovation in the Internet, which has led to academic circles and public opinion at home and abroad. Wide attention and hot discussion. General Secretary Xi’s "double-edged sword" effect on Internet technology, the "two wings of integration, the two-wheel drive" relationship between security and informatization, and the incisive elaboration of the strategic concept of "community of cyberspace destiny" are important for us in this "order" It is of great significance to fully understand the role of the Internet in promoting the progress of human society at the historical node of "reconstruction of value".

In these speeches, General Secretary Xi reiterated China’s proposal to “build a community of destiny in cyberspace” along with the rest of the world, especially highlighting the promotion of the global Internet by adhering to the principle of “maintaining the common prosperity of mankind” and “adhering to the concept of cyber sovereignty”. The fundamental principle of the construction of the governance system, the idea of ​​"Chinese wisdom" and "global vision", not only took the initiative to inherit the historical promise of building a new global information and communication order, but also actively responded to the current geopolitical economic fluctuations. Opportunities and challenges.

On the practical level, China has also actively adopted the new international cooperation mechanism such as the G20 Hangzhou Summit and the “Belt and Road” to implement the global governance of the Internet and the construction of the “community of cyberspace destiny”. The 2016 G20 Hangzhou Summit is not only a major achievement of China's "home diplomacy" in recent years, but also a milestone in refactoring the world order of the "post-Western" era. In fact, since its establishment, the G20 summit mechanism has been promoting international cooperation and global governance in the Internet field, and establishing a fairer and more equitable global communication order as one of its important topics.

In the Internet sector, G20 members have a significant influence. The average Internet penetration rate in G20 countries reached 69%; the number of Internet users accounted for 70% of the global Internet users; the top 20 Internet companies in the global market capitalization were all from G20 member countries. This means that global governance under the G20 framework covers the vast majority of Internet users and Internet companies with global influence, and extends the influence of the real world to cyberspace, which promotes global governance innovation of the Internet under the G20 framework. A solid foundation has been laid.

The "China Program" works from four major areas: promoting Internet governance globally

The communiqué issued by the G20 Brisbane Summit held in 2014 first proposed a proposal to call on countries to strengthen cybersecurity cooperation. The communiqué of the 2015 Antalya Summit, for the first time, touched on issues related to Internet security and governance. At the G20 Hangzhou Summit held in 2016, the participating countries unanimously adopted the G20 Digital Economy Development and Cooperation Initiative. Based on the 2015 bulletin, this initiative is the first to propose the idea of ​​using the Internet economy to promote the coordinated development of all countries. It advocates that the G20 countries should engage in constructive dialogue based on the concepts of “innovation, partnership, synergy, flexibility and tolerance” to narrow differences. And establish a “multi-stakeholder” Internet governance model to coordinate disputes between members in the Internet field, thereby promoting economic growth and the security of information flow. Therefore, under the framework of G20, the global governance model of the Internet with the core of “symbiosis and common prosperity” is beginning to emerge.

As a platform for effective dialogue, the G20 can promote the mechanism and model innovation of Internet global governance under the premise of full representation, thus playing a more important role in building and consolidating the new global information dissemination order. Whether it is ICANN's “de-Americanization” or the laying of “BRIC submarine cables”, it paves the way for cooperation and negotiation on Internet global governance under the G20 framework. China combines its own development strategy in this process. It plays a vital role, specifically in the following aspects:

The first is to bridge the digital divide. The G20 Hangzhou Summit communiqué clearly stated that “there is an equal digital opportunity for everyone to open access to the Internet”. With the promotion of projects such as Connect 2020, we will add 1.5 billion Internet users worldwide and enjoy the same high-quality Internet services by 2020. China will accelerate the construction of Internet infrastructure in accordance with the concept of “One Belt, One Road” and “Asian Investment Bank”, and promote interoperability with developing countries, thereby continuously narrowing the “information gap” and “digital divide” between different countries, regions and people. "Open the "last mile" of network infrastructure construction."

The second is to promote the digital economy. In the face of the emerging Internet economy, G20 members have promoted e-commerce cooperation on a number of different occasions, especially facilitating the facilitation of e-commerce cross-border trade. In the “Blueprint for Innovation Growth” put forward at the Hangzhou Summit, the digital economy was first emphasized as one of the core areas. China is implementing the "Internet +" national strategy, which complements the initiative to build a "community of cyberspace destiny", leveraging the comprehensive promotion of the "Belt and Road" and the infrastructure construction supported by the "AIIB" to establish e-commerce across the globe. System - the "global Internet market" in the true sense.

Again, it is to ensure network security. Like the threat of terrorism to the real world, hackers stealing trade secrets and personal privacy information pose a serious threat to the security of the Internet. Since the Internet does not have a real "national border", a large number of transnational cyber crimes are difficult to be effectively governed. G20 member states solve the security risks and vulnerabilities in cyberspace by strengthening cooperation with each other, and develop risk control-oriented cybersecurity standards as a practical guide to guide countries in network security management.

The last is to emphasize inclusive development. One of the core concepts of the G20 Digital Economy Development and Cooperation Initiative is “inclusive development”. The initiative proposes to encourage members to “plan the development path according to their respective developments, historical and cultural traditions, national legal systems and national development strategies”. This means that the global governance of the Internet under the G20 framework will transcend the dilemma between tradition and modernity, the East and the West, the South and the North, and the developed countries and developing countries, with greater equality and openness and higher participation. The "Internet thinking" reconstructs the new global communication order, completely changes the traditional pattern of unilateral control of the Internet, emphasizes respecting the actual situation of each country, and accommodates different development models.

Today, with the world political and economic pattern turbulent, more and more people of insight are beginning to accept a pragmatic and efficient Internet when the "new liberalism" marked by the British "Brexit" referendum and the US presidential election collapsed. The “China Program” for global governance. General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of important speeches on the network business provided a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the formulation and implementation of the "China Program." On March 1, 2017, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Internet Information Office jointly released the "International Strategy for Cyberspace Cooperation", which marked the beginning of a new phase of Internet global governance innovation led by China under the new framework of G20. It can be foreseen that the "China Program" emphasizes multilateral cooperation and dialogue and consultation, and pays attention to fairness, rationality and common governance, and will certainly play a greater role in the process of building a new global communication order.
