Network security and regulation in the past year is a major topic of concern to Chinese society. A number of interviewed representatives and members believe that China's network regulation is starting in the process of exploration.
Over the past year, China's network administrators have made a number of attempts to safeguard network security and protect the interests of public **** on the Internet, including the "Internet pornography crackdown" that gained wide public support, as well as attempts to implement the controversial Green Dam software.
Liu Zhengrong, deputy director of the cyber bureau of the State Council Information Office, said the Chinese government's regulation of the Internet is in a phase of constant exploration and improvement. He said, "The Internet has been in the midst of rapid development, and the evolution of network technology is ever-changing, so the government can only truly ensure the safety of the Internet by constantly summarizing its experience and improving relevant legislation and governance measures."
The latest statistics from the China Internet Information Center show that by the end of December 2009, the number of Chinese Internet users reached 384 million, with an annual growth rate of 28.9 percent. China's cell phone netizens increased by 120 million in 2013, reaching 233 million, and cell phone Internet access has become a new growth point for Internet users. How to provide a green and civilized online environment for hundreds of millions of Internet users is a new topic that the government must face.
Guo Guoqing, a deputy to the National People's Congress (NPC) and a professor at Renmin University of China's School of Business Administration, believes that Chinese society is a democratic and open society, as well as a pluralistic society, and that there are bound to be a lot of different viewpoints on the government's behavior in regulating the Internet. He said that there are some views that government regulation of the Internet is a kind of interference in freedom. In fact, even in Europe and the United States, there is the same regulation of the network, not all kinds of network information can be left alone.
"China's exploration of the means of regulation of the Internet is still in its infancy, and the means and objects of regulation are issues that must first be considered clearly." Hou Xinyi, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and a professor at Nankai University Law School, said. He said the purpose of management is not to close China, and thus the means of regulation must be in line with some of the basic laws of the modern information society, and must be compatible with the level of development of modern science and technology.
As for the release of policies on network management, Hou Xinyi suggested that the government should fully consult and understand the opinions of all parties when launching new measures, and give an announcement period to let the public be psychologically prepared.
In fact, the Chinese government is working in this direction. The government is taking care to innovate and learn from the successful experiences of other countries in the regulatory process, and it is also giving full play to the huge role of industry self-regulation and public supervision.
A number of representatives and members of the Xinhua News Agency in an interview, whether it is the ordinary Chinese people, Western society, for the initial stage of China's network regulation, we need to use the development of vision and a normal heart to look at, so that the atmosphere needs to rely on the government through their own efforts to create.
