Wuzhen net summit begins

THE 2021 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit kicked off in Wuzhen, east China’s Zhejiang Province, yesterday.

The summit, which gathers people from around the world to share wisdom on building a digital civilization via online and offline events, features 20 sub-forums under the theme of “Towards a New Era of Digital Civilization — Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace.”

The sub-forums were set to contribute insights on data governance, the rule of law on the Internet, social responsibilities of tech firms, global COVID-19 response and international communication through discussions on new Internet technology trends, including 5G, artificial intelligence, and Internet of the next generation.

In a congratulatory letter to the summit, President Xi Jinping said: “Currently, profound changes in the world unseen in a century and the epidemic situation are intertwined. It is imperative for the international community to join hands to seize opportunities and meet challenges by following the trend of informatization and digitalization, as well as networking and smart development.”

Nearly 2,000 delegates from over 80 countries and regions will attend the three-day conference, either in person or virtually, with around 15 top-level achievements of Internet technology to be released, organizers said.
