Hong Kong Economic Herald:

We all know that Zhejiang is fully advancing digitalization reform. What effects will it have on Zhejiang's internet industry and cyberspace governance? Thank you.

Zhu Guoxian:

I'd like to thank you for your concern for Zhejiang's digitalization reform, which is a reform that affects many other aspects in Zhejiang. This year, Zhejiang has vigorously pushed forward its digitalization reform, and opened a new chapter in Zhejiang's digital development. By focusing on the "152" digital reform projects, Zhejiang will carry out a well-rounded and systematic reform in its social development and governance capacity. By doing so, the digitalization reform will transform all social and economic sectors in a deep and all-round way and further guide the prosperous development of the internet industry in Zhejiang. The digitalization reform has the following features.

First, the internet sector will continue to boom. Creating major applications through digital reforms will further promote the widespread application of the internet, boost innovation and breakthroughs in internet technologies, and facilitate the emergence of new business forms and new models. The role of data as a key production factor will become more prominent, which will bring major opportunities for the development of the internet sector.

Second, provincial-level digital governance will be comprehensively improved. In the process of deepening digital reforms, data-driven governance capacity will become an important impetus of Zhejiang province to transform government functions and promote governance innovations. The modern government building will focus on overall smart governance, being practical and innovative.

Third, we will continue to build a safe and clean cyberspace. We will follow the people-centered philosophy of internet development in digital reforms, and coordinate development and security. In terms of the future development of the internet, Zhejiang will have more advantages in building a clean cyberspace. This will mean strengthening integrated internet management, ensuring that cyberspace is governed in accordance with law, building a cybersecurity protection system, and better regulating the development of the internet. Thank you.

The World Internet Conference is a grand gathering in the internet industry, and everyone has paid close attention to this year's lineup of guests. The conference will be convened in a few days. What important companies and people will participate in this year's conference? Thank you.

Zhao Zeliang:

In fact, this reporter friend has just given the answer while asking the question. Indeed, the WIC has become a symbol of Zhejiang, as well as a highlight of China's internet development. The role and influence of the WIC has been recognized by the international community. Therefore, the invitation of guests to this year's conference has gained much attention. With an open attitude and high-level positioning, we welcome friends, guests and representatives from industries, universities, research institutes and government departments around the world to attend the conference to better communicate ideas, promote consensus and contribute good ideas to the world's internet development.

Since we began inviting guests to the conference, we have received close attention and active responses from all sides in China and abroad. Our guests come from more than 80 countries and regions. They include representatives of foreign government departments and embassies in China, heads of international organizations such as the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations, the International Telecommunication Union, the World Intellectual Property Organization and the Global System for Mobile Communications Association, as well as representatives from well-known companies from China and abroad. They will share their cutting-edge insights, and also communicate and interact with each other to generate the sparks of wisdom. Thank you.
