China and UK cooperate on network security
The Chinese State Council Information Office and the UK’s Department for Business, Innovation and Skills have agreed to combine their efforts to safeguard national network security and collaborate on information sharing and intelligence gathering.
At the roundtable meeting in Beijing, the two sides focused on how to cope with the growing and increasingly complex information security threat to both countries, the need to strengthen international cooperation to mitigate this threat, and how to protect young people from the dangers of the internet.
China and Britain also discussed the importance of information privacy and protection and the future of the internet economy, particularly wireless internet technology and how it can be used to drive innovation amid the global financial crisis.
“The internet has become a critical part of our country’s infrastructure, and network security has become a matter of national security,” said China’s Assistant Director of the Information Office of the State Council Cai Mingzhao.
“While we speed up the advancement of internet availability and applications, we must take the practical, effective measures to safeguard network security, particularly as the network begins to go mobile,” Cai Mingzhao said.
The Beijing summit was the second roundtable meeting between the two countries with the aim of sharing experiences, ideas and best practice in their approach to the internet safety and security.
