Learning Language | Maintaining Network Security is a Shared Responsibility of the Whole Society

From September 11th to 17th, the 2023 National Cybersecurity Awareness Week with the theme of "Cybersecurity for the People, Cybersecurity Depends on the People" was held nationwide. Without cybersecurity, there can be no national security.

Without cybersecurity, there can be no national security

Without network security, there would be no national security, and without informatization, there would be no modernization. To build a strong online country, one must have their own technology and excellent skills; To have rich and comprehensive information services and a thriving network culture; To have a good information infrastructure and form a strong information economy; We need a high-quality team of network security and information technology talents; We should actively carry out bilateral and multilateral Internet international exchanges and cooperation.

-Speech by Xi Jinping at the First Meeting of the Central Leading Group on Cybersecurity and Informatization, February 27, 2014

Without cybersecurity, there would be no national security, no stable economic and social operation, and the interests of the general public would be difficult to safeguard. To establish a correct view on network security, strengthen information infrastructure and network security protection, strengthen the construction of network security information coordination mechanisms, means, and platforms, enhance the construction of emergency command capabilities for network security incidents, actively develop the network security industry, and move forward to prevent potential problems.

I have said many times that without cybersecurity, there can be no national security; If you can't pass the Internet, you can't pass the long-term ruling.

Cybersecurity for the people, cybersecurity relies on the people

Network security is common rather than isolated. Network security is for the people, and network security relies on the people. Maintaining network security is a common responsibility of the whole society, which requires the participation of the government, enterprises, social organizations, and the vast number of netizens to jointly build a network security defense line.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on Network Security and Informatization on April 19, 2016

We must strictly crack down on illegal and criminal activities such as cyber hackers, telecommunications fraud, and infringement of citizens' personal privacy in accordance with the law, cut off the chain of interests in cybercrime, continue to form a high-pressure situation, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the people. We need to deepen the promotion and popularization of network security knowledge and skills, and improve the network security awareness and protection skills of the general public.

-- April 20-21, 2018, Xi Jinping's speech at the National Cyber Security and Informatization Work Conference

National cybersecurity work should adhere to the principle of putting cybersecurity for the people, relying on the people for cybersecurity, ensuring personal information security, and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of citizens in the cyberspace. We must adhere to the integrated development of cybersecurity education, technology, and industry, and form a virtuous ecosystem of talent cultivation, technological innovation, and industrial development.

Building a strong defense line for network security and improving the level of network security guarantee

24/7 comprehensive perception of network security situation. Knowing oneself and the enemy is the key to being invincible in a hundred battles. Not realizing that risk is the greatest risk. Network security has strong concealment, and a technical loophole or security risk may be hidden for several years without being discovered. The result is that "who came in is unknown, whether it is an enemy or a friend is unknown, and what was done is unknown". It "lurks" inside for a long time, and once something happens, it will erupt.

-- Speech by Xi Jinping at the Symposium on Network Security and Informatization on April 19, 2016

To strengthen the defense line of network security, improve the level of network security protection, strengthen the protection of key information infrastructure, increase the research and development of core technologies and market-oriented guidance, strengthen network security warning and monitoring, ensure big data security, and achieve all-weather and all-round perception and effective protection.

We must adhere to the unity of promoting development and managing according to law, vigorously cultivate new technologies and applications such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and next-generation communication networks, and actively use laws, regulations, and standards to guide the application of new technologies. We must adhere to the balance of security, controllability, and open innovation, based on maintaining cybersecurity in an open environment, strengthening international exchanges and cooperation, and enhancing the sense of gain, happiness, and security of the general public in cyberspace.
