【 Li Xiang China 】 High quality promotion of the construction of a strong online country

With the rapid development of information technology and the continuous expansion of application fields, the Internet has been integrated into all levels of production and life in modern society, which has had a significant impact on economic construction, social development, national governance and people's life. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has made important strategic arrangements for accelerating the construction of a strong online country, which has become an important part of the construction of a socialist modernized country. In the new journey, we must firmly grasp the historical opportunity of the information revolution, strengthen the Party's comprehensive leadership over the construction of a strong online country, establish a goal orientation, focus on prominent problems, adhere to systematic thinking, and promote the construction of a strong online country with high quality.

Strengthen the comprehensive leadership of the Party in building a strong online country. The leadership of the Party is the essential characteristic of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of socialism with Chinese characteristics. All fields and levels of society must work under the leadership of the Party. The construction of a strong online country is an important component of the socialist cause with Chinese characteristics, and its construction principles, content, goals, and methods must all be carried out under the comprehensive leadership of the Party.Secondly, we must adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party in building a strong online country. We should adhere to the fundamental principle of the Party's management of the Internet. The Party should, in accordance with the new situation and new characteristics of the evolving information revolution, constantly improve the decision-making, deliberation and coordination mechanism in the field of network power work, study and formulate the strategic outline, development plan and guidance for the construction of a network power, strengthen the construction of a comprehensive network governance system, ensure that the Party's leadership in the construction of a network power is stronger, and always take the overall situation and coordinate all parties in the field of network power construction. Third, we should adhere to comprehensively improving the Internet thinking of leading cadres. Party members and cadres are the leaders, organizers and promoters of the construction of a network power. Party members and cadres should constantly consciously learn, understand and use the Internet, constantly update and optimize network knowledge, systematically master Internet business knowledge and skills, scientifically grasp the development law of the Internet, learn to follow the mass line through the Internet, comprehensively improve the ability to guide network public opinion, control information development and fully guarantee the network, and enhance the ability to fight in cyberspace.

Grasp the goal system of building a strong online country. As a strategic deployment, the construction of a strong cyber country is related to the achievement of the goals of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country, a better life for the people, and a community with a shared future for mankind. First, we need to build a network power to boost Chinese path to modernization. Chinese path to modernization is an inevitable path to comprehensively build a modern socialist country and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The fundamental goal of strengthening the construction of a network power is to provide support and guarantee for Chinese path to modernization. In the process of construction, it is necessary to give full play to the leading and promoting role of the network power strategy in the overall layout of the "Five in One", integrate the construction of the network power into various fields such as politics, economy, culture, society, ecology and party building, and fully demonstrate the tremendous power of the network, information technology and other resource elements to promote Chinese path to modernization. Secondly, we need to enhance the sense of achievement of millions of people through the construction of a strong online country. The construction of a network power in the new era and new journey must implement the people centered development idea and practice the value orientation of the Internet for the people, so that the achievements of Internet development will benefit more than 1.4 billion Chinese people. We should actively adapt to people's expectations and demands, focus on making positive efforts in ensuring and improving people's livelihood, promote the construction of the "Internet plus" people's livelihood service system based on actual conditions, promote the construction and popularization of big data in education, employment, social security, medical care, housing, transportation and other fields, narrow the digital divide, improve the equalization and inclusiveness of online convenience services, and constantly realize people's aspirations for a better life. We must promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind through the construction of a strong cyber nation. The Internet has truly changed the world, making it a reality for human beings to live together in a global village from an ideal, and promoting the international community to increasingly form a community of shared future in which there is something in each other, something in each other, and interaction. Cyberspace is related to the destiny of mankind. We should constantly strengthen exchanges and cooperation in information security and Internet management among countries, promote the construction of global Internet infrastructure, promote the interconnection of Internet resources, create an online cultural exchange and sharing platform, and jointly build a peaceful, safe, open, cooperative and orderly cyberspace, so as to make more contributions to the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Focus on prominent issues in the construction of a strong online country. Highlighting problem orientation, grasping the shortcomings and prominent issues in the construction of a strong online country, and continuously promoting long-term efforts. We need to focus on the problem of insufficient core network technology. It is important to be aware that although China has made significant breakthroughs in related network application technologies such as 5G, big data, and cloud computing, the foundation for building a strong network country is not yet solid. Basic theoretical research and core technologies have not yet formed a system, and there is still a certain gap between China and the world's advanced level in high-end chips, artificial intelligence, operating systems, industrial software, and other fields. China also faces technological threats such as "supply interruption" and "decoupling" from some countries. Secondly, we need to focus on the issue of imbalanced and insufficient development of the network and digital infrastructure. At present, China has made important progress in building a network power. According to the 52nd Statistical Report on the Development of China's Internet, as of June 2023, the number of Internet users in China has reached 1.079 billion, the Internet penetration rate has reached 76.4%, and the overall level of Internet infrastructure construction has improved. However, overall, the problem of imbalanced and insufficient development in China's network and digital infrastructure construction is still prominent. Its basic characteristics are that there are significant regional and urban-rural differences, with higher overall urban levels and lower overall rural levels. The central and eastern regions are in a leading position, while the western regions are relatively lagging behind. We need to focus on the issues of network and information security. Security is a prerequisite for development, and network and information security are related to the overall national security and social stability. They are the foundation and guarantee for the construction of a strong cyber country. We need to recognize the new situations and tasks faced in the field of cybersecurity, and accelerate the construction of a key information infrastructure security guarantee system, continuously enhance the national cybersecurity defense capabilities, and comprehensively enhance the ability to safeguard the fundamental interests of the Party and the country, focusing on the security issues of intelligent technology applications, cloud security, mobile devices and payment security, international discourse power in cyberspace, and the destruction of hackers and cyber terrorist organizations.

Comprehensively promote the construction of a strong cyber country through systematic thinking. The construction of a strong online country is a systematic project. For prominent problems that exist, it is necessary to comprehensively promote and solve them in an orderly manner with a systematic thinking, and form a corresponding cultural trend, core technology, infrastructure, talent team, and network order. One must cultivate a positive and healthy online culture. Strictly implement the responsibility system for ideological work, strengthen the construction of content in cyberspace, promote the civilized operation, use, and use of the internet, and promote a clean and upright atmosphere in cyberspace. Secondly, we need to accelerate the construction of a core technology system for building a strong online country. As the Internet is a technology intensive industry, it is necessary to fully mobilize the enthusiasm and initiative of enterprises and scientific and technological workers, stimulate the creative vitality of society, strengthen the research and development of new generation information and communication technologies, promote the breakthrough of core technologies in the information field, make great efforts to solve the problem of long-term constraints on key technologies and equipment, and solve the "choke" problems and hidden dangers one by one. We need to accelerate the construction of new information infrastructure. Effectively building a new generation of information infrastructure that is high-speed, mobile, secure, and ubiquitous, orderly promoting the digital transformation of traditional infrastructure, continuously increasing investment in information infrastructure construction in rural areas and central and western regions, accelerating the updating and upgrading of network infrastructure, and accelerating the deep integration and application of network technology in the economic and social life field. Fourthly, we need to build a high-quality network talent team. The construction of a talent team is the key to promoting the construction of a strong online country. In the process of building a strong internet nation, it is necessary to improve the domestic network talent training system and also gather talent resources through a series of preferential policies, in order to build a strong network talent team with strong politics, excellent business skills, and good work style. We must build a good network order. The cyberspace is not an "lawless place". We must adhere to the rule of law for pipeline networks, network management, and internet access, strengthen legislation in the field of network information security, deeply promote and popularize important laws, regulations, and policy documents such as the Cybersecurity Law, Data Security Law, Personal Information Protection Law, and Regulations on the Security Protection of Key Information Infrastructure, and guide enterprises, social organizations, and the general public to participate in the construction of network order, forming a joint force for the construction of a strong network country.
