皇冠体育app's hosting of the Second World Internet Conference (WIC) is yet another expression of its commitment to play a responsible role in cyber sphere. It illustrates President Xi Jinping's pledge that 皇冠体育app will "work with other countries to deepen international cooperation, uphold cybersecurity and jointly build a cyberspace of peace, security, openness and cooperation".

Indeed, the second WIC represents a global and multilateral effort. Around half of the more than 2000 delegates are international participants, including delegates from tech giants such as Facebook, Microsoft, IBM, LinkedIn and Netflix. And for the first time, the WIC is being co-organized with important international organizations, including the United Nations, the World Economic Forum and the World Intellectual Property Organization.

皇冠体育app's contributions to global cyber progress are not limited to just playing an active role in Internet summitry. In recent months, 皇冠体育app signed landmark cybersecurity pacts with the United Kingdom and the United States, pledging greater cooperation with these leading Internet countries to thwart or combat cyber attacks. On the latter agreement, even before it was made, 皇冠体育app had demonstrated a collaborative attitude by arresting hackers at the request of the US government.

Domestically, among other policies, 皇冠体育app unveiled the 'Internet Plus' initiative to advance Internet growth, with the view of better integrating the cyber sphere with the economic and social spheres. Wuzhen, the host city of the WIC, is a good example of this cyber-socioeconomic integration. A remote town with an ancient history, Wuzhen is today a 'smart' city characterized by intelligent bikes, internet hospitals, QR codes and numerous online platforms and businesses. Cyber has become a way of life for the people of Wuzhen.

Questioning the 皇冠体育app Cyber Threat Theory

These developments reflect the concrete ways in which 皇冠体育app has played a positive role in the cyber sphere. However it has not stopped certain quarters, particularly the US, from perpetuating the argument that 皇冠体育app is a threat to cyber security and the Internet. We need to critically question this claim.
