【正确答案】 The 21st century is the century of information. Information and cyber technology represents advanced productivity, and its rapid development and wide application have given a strong impetus to economic and social development and the progress of human civilization. While countries enjoy the great convenience offered by information and cyber networks, they also find themselves more vulnerable in terms of security. In recent years, China has been subjected to increasing cyber attacks from abroad, which caused enormous losses to us. This has made us realize that maintaining information and cyberspace security is maintaining the security of the whole international community, not that of just one country.
China believes that the international community should view this issue from the new perspective of "a community of common destiny" and work together towards a peaceful, secure and equitable information and cyber space. To this end, the following five principles should be followed: Firstly, the principle of peace. The international community should engage in active preventive diplomacy and promote the use of information and cyber technology in advancing economic and social development and people's welfare and in maintaining international peace, stability and security.
Secondly, the principle of sovereignty. respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity enshrined in the UN Charter and other universal basic norms of international relations should also be respected. While ensuring the healthy development and effective utilization of information and cyber space, it is also necessary to keep information and cyber technology from being turned into another tool to interfere in internal affairs of other countries. Thirdly, the principle of balance between freedom and security in information flow. While fully respecting the rights and freedom of all stakeholders in information and cyber space, countries should uphold rule of law so as to effectively keep order in information and cyber space.
Fourthly, the principle of cooperation. Since information and cybe networks both interlink with each other and belong to different sovereign jurisdictions, no country is able to manage only its own information and cyber business, still less to ensure its information and cyber security by itself. Such a task requires all countries to work together and further strengthen international exchanges and cooperation. Fifthly, the principle of equitable development. The developed countries should help the developing countries enhance capacity in information and cyber technology and narrow the digital divide to enable the latter to share the dividend brought by the development of information and cyber technology in this globalized world and this information age so as to realize genuinely equitable and universal development.
