BeijingChinese President Xi Jinping said that China should build a “strong” security barrier around the Internet under the supervision of the ruling Communist Party, in his latest call to protect online data and information.
China should continue to manage, operate and guarantee access to the Internet in accordance with the law, Xi said in instructions delivered to officials attending the two-day cybersecurity meeting in Beijing that ended Saturday. “We must abide by the Party’s management of the Internet and abide by (the principle of) making the Internet work for the people,” state-run Xinhua News Agency Shi was quoted as saying.
In the past decade, Xi has made maintaining security a priority, with his concept of security covering everything from politics and economics to the environment and cyberspace. In 2015, China passed a national security law that has a broader scope to cover its cyberspace. A year later, a law was passed requiring security reviews and data storage on servers in China.
