Chinese Perspectives on Cyber Governance

活动系列: China and Global Governance

Showing the Chinese Perspectives on Cyber Governance Video

For nearly a decade, the People’s Republic of China has articulated its objective of becoming a “great cyber power.” As much as China’s cyber ambitions are tied to its domestic economic growth pillars in telecommunications and artificial intelligence, questions remain about how China’s internet regulation preferences will affect cyber global governance norms. This virtual panel brought together experts to discuss Beijing’s vision of cyber governance, including digital sovereignty, and its efforts to influence multilateral mechanisms. 

This event was sponsored by the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues.
