The rise of a great country must firmly grasp the opportunities of the times.

The strength of a great country must be guided by scientific thinking.

A nation standing on the high ground of human civilization can only better grasp its position and have a clearer vision of the future path by leveraging the power of thought.

The wave of information revolution is surging, and the development of digitization, networking, and intelligence is tremendous. China is moving towards the information age and developing in sync with digital transformation. Seizing the significant historical opportunities that may be fleeting, China is constantly writing a brilliant chapter in the history of human digital development and progress.

Having a broad vision, assessing the situation, and deepening the exploration and practice of information technology development, we provide a source of fresh water for the breeding and germination of scientific theories

The beginning of thought is like a trickle at the source of a river; A hundred rivers converge, leaping over mountains and ridges, only then can the great river flow.

Emphasis should be placed on strengthening information work, establishing information centers, organizing professional teams, expanding information channels, and forming a smart and visible "spider web" information network.

In 1984, Zhengding County established an information center. In the same year, the handheld telephones in the entire county were upgraded to programmable telephones, and the first county-level "Technology Information Trading Conference" was held in the province, launching 1500 scientific and technological projects. Nowadays, the development pace of Zhengding's digital industry is constantly accelerating, and a large number of digital economy industry projects are being implemented and promoted, ranking among the "Top Ten Counties" in Hebei Province's digital ecology.

The trend of "Digital Fujian" is rising in the southeast.

The wave of "Digital Zhejiang" is surging. Nowadays, under the guidance of the "88 Strategy" and "Digital Zhejiang", a large number of digital enterprises have rapidly risen. In 2022, the added value of core digital economy industries in Zhejiang Province accounted for 11.6% of GDP, making it a major province in the digital economy and a strong province in the network.

Continue to improve the service functions of information infrastructure and continuously enhance the level of urban informatization; Actively use, vigorously develop and scientifically manage the Internet and other emerging media, strengthen the construction of network culture, and make emerging media an important position for spreading advanced culture.

Water is active, therefore its flow is endless; Wood has roots, so it never grows endlessly.

Raise flags and draw blueprints, sound the horn of the era for building a strong online country, and guide the historical achievements and changes in the field of internet and information technology

At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation represented by the Internet is in the ascendant and changing with each passing day, which has a profound impact on politics, economy, culture, society, military and other fields, and has improved the ability of human beings to understand and transform the world in a broader scope, at a higher level and to a deeper extent.

On April 19, 2016, a symposium on network security and information technology was held.

The Internet information industry represents new productive forces and new development directions, which is the latest interpretation of the important statement that "science and technology are the primary productive forces".

"Taking the mass line through the Internet" is the application and development of the party's mass line in cyberspace, which has inserted the wings of the Internet into the party's "heirloom".

We have made breakthroughs in core technologies as soon as possible, prepared in advance, and conducted forward-looking analysis and deployment on important issues and major risks such as the bottleneck of core technologies.

"Security and development should be promoted simultaneously" and "establishing a correct view on cybersecurity". The Marxist perspective and method were used to deeply analyze the dialectical unity between security and development, and a new view on cybersecurity was proposed.

"The cyberspace is clear and ecologically sound, which is in line with the interests of the people" ····· "Clear and Clear", from Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. April in Beijing coincides with late spring. The General Secretary said that the speech was like a spring breeze. After the full speech was published, it aroused strong repercussions in all sectors of society, greatly unifying the understanding of the whole party and society on a series of major issues such as how to build a clean cyberspace and how to better promote the development of China's Internet.

On October 9, 2016, the 36th collective learning session of the 18th Central Political Bureau was held, with the theme of implementing the strategy of building a strong country through the internet.This collective learning has further enriched the profound connotation of building a strong online country, and the roadmap and task book for building a strong online country have become clearer and more clear.

The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made important arrangements for the work of online information: "promote the deep integration of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and the real economy", "strengthen the construction of Internet content, establish a comprehensive network governance system, and create a clear cyberspace", "be good at using Internet technology and information technology to carry out work"······

The cyberspace is an inseparable and interdependent whole.

"Building a community with a shared future in cyberspace", an initiative with the characteristics of Marxism and the feelings of the Chinese nation under the world, clearly expresses China's concern about the trend of human civilization in the information age, contributes Chinese wisdom and Chinese programs to the development and governance of the global Internet, and has attracted worldwide attention once proposed.

The era is the mother of thought, and practice is the source of theory.

In 2018, the National Conference on Cybersecurity and Informatization Work was held.

——Clarifying the important position of online communication work in the overall cause of the Party and the state fully reflects the historical initiative of our Party to lead and grasp the information age

The world today is experiencing unprecedented changes, with a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation deepening.

This is a clear consciousness demonstrated by history, and also a responsibility oriented towards the future.

In 2014, China ushered in the 20th anniversary of full-featured access to the Internet. In that year, the Central Leading Group for Cybersecurity and Informatization was declared established to comprehensively strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee over cybersecurity work. In March 2018, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Plan for Deepening the Reform of Party and State Institutions", which renamed the Central Leading Group for Cybersecurity and Informatization as the Central Cybersecurity and Informatization Committee, strengthened the top-level design, overall layout, overall coordination, overall promotion, and supervision of major work in the field of cybersecurity.

The central, provincial, and municipal network information work system has been basically established, and the construction of county-level network information institutions has been solidly promoted, forming a basic work pattern of "one network" and "one game".

We formulated and implemented the Rules for the Implementation of the Party Committee's Network Ideology Work Responsibility System and the Measures for the Implementation of the Party Committee's Network Security Work Responsibility System, compacted the network ideology work responsibility system and the network security work responsibility system, and implemented the party's management of the Internet.

Deepen the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, create a clean and upright political ecology, strengthen the construction of the Party and the cadre talent team in the network information system, and build a loyal, clean, and responsible network information iron army······

——Clarifying the strategic goals of building a strong cyber nation and outlining a grand blueprint for building a strong cyber nation

"In today's world, whoever masters the Internet will grasp the initiative of the times; whoever despises the Internet will be abandoned by the times. To a certain extent, it can be said that those who win the Internet win the world."

Nowadays, major countries in the world regard the Internet as the strategic focus of economic development and technological innovation, and the priority of seeking new competitive advantages; The competition among major countries for dominance and control over cyberspace development is becoming increasingly fierce. The world power map has been redrawn due to informatization. Whether it can adapt to and lead the development of the Internet has become a key factor in determining the rise and fall of major countries.

Building a strong online country is both timely and dynamic.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the implementation of the national big data strategy, the current status and trends of artificial intelligence development, the era of all media and media integration development, the current status and trends of blockchain technology development, the prospects of quantum technology research and application, the strengthening of China's international communication capacity construction, and the promotion of the healthy development of China's digital economy have repeatedly become the theme of collective learning for the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in the information age.

Behind the series of "big moves" from the National Informatization Development Strategy Outline to the National Informatization Plan for the 14th Five Year Plan is a firm determination and solid step towards becoming a strong cyber country. The strategy of building a strong cyber nation, with the implementation of one plan after another, has gradually transformed from a great strategic concept to vivid practice.

——Clarifying the principles and requirements for building a strong online country and profoundly revealing the inherent laws of building a strong online country

"Questions are the voice of the times, and answering and guiding problem-solving is the fundamental task of theory."

When humanity entered the industrial age, Marxist classic writers, with their sharp vision, deeply grasped the basic contradictions of capitalist society and pointed out the direction of human liberation.

When mankind began to enter the information age, the people of the CPC, closely combined with the latest development, wrote a new chapter of the magnificent sinicization and modernization of Marxism with deep people's feelings and broad mind.

"We should adhere to the principles of innovative development, governance according to law, ensuring security, promoting advantages and eliminating disadvantages, and benefiting the people, adhere to innovation driven development, cultivate new momentum with informatization, and use new momentum to promote new development; adhere to the rule of law, so that the Internet will always operate healthily on the track of the rule of law; adhere to the correct concept of network security, and build a solid national network security barrier; adhere to the equal emphasis on risk prevention and promoting healthy development, seize opportunities and challenges, so that the Internet can better benefit the society; adhere to the people-centered development philosophy, so that hundreds of millions of people will have more sense of gain in sharing the fruits of Internet development."

These important discussions profoundly reveal the internal law of building a network power, and point out the direction for us to better develop the Internet, use the Internet, and govern the Internet.

Only by following the trend can we take advantage of it and move forward.

The launch of "Nine Chapters" and the networking of "Beidou"; "Chang'e" flies to the moon, "Jiaolong" dives to the bottom; China's chip industry has broken through, and the upgrading of intelligent manufacturing has firmly grasped the autonomy of technology and development in its own hands. It has steadfastly taken the path of independent innovation, vigorously tackled key core technologies, and climbed new heights. Major innovative achievements continue to emerge, and China has successfully entered the ranks of innovative countries.

A series of important achievements and significant achievements have been made in the construction of intelligent comprehensive digital information infrastructure, including breakthroughs in 3G, parallel operation in 4G, and leading in 5G, with high speed and universality, integration of heaven and earth, cloud network integration, intelligent agility, green and low-carbon, and safe and controllable capabilities. It has become a major information artery for economic and social development.

On August 28, 2022, the exhibition of achievements in the construction of China's network civilization in the new era was officially unveiled at the Tianjin National Convention and Exhibition Center.

Improve the implementation of anti-monopoly regulations, and issue the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Development and Growth of Private Economy" to promote the healthy and orderly development of online information enterprises.

A number of laws and regulations in the Internet field, such as the Cyber Security Law of the People's Republic of China, the Data Security Law of the People's Republic of China, the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, and the Regulations on the Security Protection of Key Information Infrastructure, have been issued in succession... China has basically formed a network legal system based on the Constitution, supported by laws, administrative regulations, departmental rules and local regulations, and local government regulations, based on traditional legislation, with network specific legislation such as network content construction and management, network security and informatization as the backbone, and the basic construction of "four beams and eight pillars" of network legislation.

Strengthen network security governance and initiate network security reviews; Establish a sound national cybersecurity emergency system; Vigorously cultivate network security talents; Continuously holding national cybersecurity publicity weeks, guided by the overall national security concept, China continuously improves the system and mechanism of cybersecurity work, strengthens the cybersecurity guarantee system and capacity building, and significantly enhances the awareness and protection skills of cybersecurity in the whole society.

The people are the mountains and rivers, and the mountains and rivers are the people.

In the solemn declaration of "implementing the people centered development thought", in the voice of "providing people with useful, affordable and well used information services", and in the sonorous commitment of "no one can be missing" on the road to a well-off society, we deeply feel what the CPC is doing and what its heart is tied to.

Everything is for the people, everything depends on the people. The people's sentiment endows the construction of a strong online country with a distinct background.

——Clarify the international proposition of Internet development and governance, and demonstrate our party's global vision of building a community of shared future in cyberspace

In countless moments of influence in China, this is undoubtedly a coordinate.

Following the main road leads the world.

The Internet has truly turned the world into a global village, making the international community more and more a community of shared destiny. People of all countries share weal and woe and have a stake in cyberspace. At the same time, problems such as unbalanced development, unsound rules and unreasonable order in the Internet field are increasingly prominent, and the international community calls for new solutions.

The initiative of building a community with a shared future in cyberspace is the development of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind in cyberspace. This is a profound reflection rooted in a civilization with a history of over 5000 years, a significant decision to take into account the changing and intertwined international situation, a profound insight into the direction of human social development in the information age, and a broad call from China to the world.

In July 2022, on the basis of successfully holding the World Internet Conference for eight consecutive years, the International Organization of the World Internet Conference was established in Beijing, China.

Though separated by a mountain, we’ll share the same clouds and rain.The bright moon belongs not to a single town.

The Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, and Global Civilization Initiative, one by one, are China's initiatives and programs, allowing the world to witness China's unremitting efforts to build a better world together. Promote the "Ten Thousand Villages Connection" project to aid Africa, connect satellite TV signals to tens of thousands of remote villages, and help African people connect with the world; Promote Chinese e-commerce enterprises to root in Latin America and other regions, and promote local digital transformation; The construction of China ASEAN Information Port has been comprehensively accelerated, and the construction of the China Arab "Online Silk Road" Economic Cooperation Pilot Zone has been launched. One by one, China is taking action and constantly writing a brilliant chapter of a community with a shared future in cyberspace.

——Clarifying the basic methods for doing a good job in online communication has enriched the methodology of our party's governance of the country

The work of cybersecurity involves many fields, and it is necessary to strengthen overall coordination, implement comprehensive governance, and form a strong working force.

The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China have made special arrangements, and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has issued and implemented the Opinions on Accelerating the Establishment of a Comprehensive Network Governance System.

At present, a comprehensive network governance system covering Internet leadership management, positive energy transmission, network content management and control, social collaborative governance, network rule of law, technology governance and other aspects has been basically completed, promoting the fundamental transformation of the Internet from "management" to "governance", further expanding the way of network governance with Chinese characteristics, and forming rich theoretical, practical and institutional achievements.

"In today's world, information technology is developing rapidly. If you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you progress slowly, you will also retreat."

Network security and informatization are the two wings and driving wheels of one entity, and must be planned, deployed, promoted, and implemented in a unified manner
