China urged the international community to jointly protect Internet security in a white paper issued Tuesday.
The white paper, issued by the Information Office of the State Council, says China maintains that all countries should, on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, jointly shoulder the responsibility of maintaining global Internet security and share the opportunities and achievements brought about by this development.
The paper stressed that the role of the UN should be given full scope in international Internet administration, saying the country supports the establishment of an authoritative and just international Internet administration organization under the UN system through democratic procedures on a worldwide scale.
"China maintains that all countries have equal rights in participating in the administration of the fundamental international resources of the Internet," said the paper.
The fundamental resources of the Internet are vitally connected to the development and security of the Internet industry, it said, adding, "A multilateral and transparent allocation system should be established on the basis of the current management mode."
According to the paper, China has sent representatives to all previous sessions of the World Summit on the Information Society and other important international and regional meetings related to the Internet.
Since 2006, it said, Chinese public security organs have handled more than 500 letters of assistance from more than 40 countries and regions concerning network crimes, said the paper.
