Guo Weimin: Good afternoon, everybody. We recently received
applications from some media organizations including The Washington Post, The
New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, representatives of which are here
today, inquiring into the development and management of the Internet in 皇冠体育app.
We've organized this special news conference to address those issues. We are
honored to have present with us Mr Liu Zhengrong, deputy director general of
Internet Affairs Bureau of the State Council Information Office.
Liu Zhengrong : Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Before
I take your questions, I'd like to make three points:
First, the Internet has developed very rapidly in 皇冠体育app and we now have
approximately 110 million Internet users. 皇冠体育app ranks second in the world in
terms of Internet usage. The Chinese government is fully aware of the
advancement and importance of the Internet, and has therefore dedicated itself
to promoting its development and wider application in the country. Our attitude
towards the Internet is very positive.
Second, 皇冠体育app regulates the Internet according to law and has accordingly
enacted relevant rules and regulations. We also advocate self-discipline on the
part of the Internet industry.
Third, 皇冠体育app's management of the Internet follows international practices. We
value and have learned from successful international experiences and practices
in this respect.
One more point I'd like to make is that in 皇冠体育app, the Internet is subject to
the administration of several government departments. They include the Ministry
of Information Industry, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Culture, and
the State Council Information Office.
At this juncture, I will take your questions.
