introducing rules of engagement in the cyberspace. Such moves will
increase the risk of conflicts and confrontation in the cyberspace and
jeopardize international peace and security. Certain state politicizes
technology and cybersecurity issues and undermines global
development and cooperation.
Given the challenges and threats we face, the international
community should uphold multilateralism and work towards
building a community with a shared future for mankind in the
cyberspace through win-win cooperation.
First, we should pursue shared prosperity and shared responsibility
in the cyberspace. States are interconnected with converging
interests in the cyberspace. All states, in disregard of size,
development level and political position, shall not turn a blind eye to
this historical trend. Only through win-win cooperation can we all
enjoy the development opportunities brought about by digital
economy and effectively address risks and challenges in the
cyberspace.
Second, we should commit ourselves to upholding peace and
stability in cyberspace. ICT touches every aspect of a state's politics,
economy, society and people's lives. Consequences of cyber
conflicts among states especially big powers are beyond imagination.
Cyber war can not be won and must never be fought. This should be
a consensus of the international community. Given the high
prevalence and challenges of attribution of cyber incidents, it is
impossible to protect and develop oneself by force, deterrence and
pressurization, nor to find a solution through sanction. Contrarily,
these acts will only lead to increasing instability in the cyberspace,
result in strategic misperception and escalation, and undermine
international trust.
Third, we should address challenges in a balanced manner. Since
ICT touches such aspects as sovereignty, security and development.
