2015年CRI China Advocates Peaceful and Open Cyber Space: Xi(在线收听

 

President Xi Jinping also says China advocates the building of a peaceful, secure, open and cooperative cyber space.

Xi Jinping made the comment while attending the 8th annual US-China Internet Industry Forum, at the Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington.

Stressing that every nation should institute its own Internet policy in line with its national conditions, the Chinese President also called for better cooperation with other countries.

"Thus a secure, stable and prosperous cyberspace is of great significance for peace and development of not only one country, but for the whole world. And therefore to study how to govern the Internet and make good use of the Internet has become an issue of interest to all countries, and studied by all countries. No-one can stay isolated from this course."

Noting that China and the US are both major countries in the Internet sphere, Xi Jinping suggested the two could explore their common interests and carry out constructive talks on cyber issues, further enhancing bilateral ties.

The remarks come at a time when cyber security has emerged as one of the thorny issues straining China-U.S. ties.

Satya Nadella, Microsoft's CEO, also voiced wishes for more collaboration on a localized level.

"And we hope that your visit this week will advance the spirit of partnership across both countries. We are aware of the governmental negotiations on a range of cooperative issues. We hope for progress there and for progress between our two people to strengthen our education and cultural ties."

Xi Jingping also met with Microsoft founder Bill Gates on Wednesday.

Attendees at the forum included notable business leaders in the Internet and tech industries. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg later said on his Facebook page that it was a good opportunity for leaders of technologies companies and government officials from the two countries to discuss common issues for the future of the industry.

Aside from Microsoft, President Xi also paid a tour to the Boeing Company's commercial airplane factory in Everett.

This comes after a series of deals were inked between the plane maker and several Chinese companies.

One of the deals will see Boeing build an aircraft competition center in China, the first of its kind to be established outside the United States.

Xi Jinping noted the cooperation of Boeing and China is a good example for China-U.S. economic and trade cooperation.

"The Boeing Company has for long been a supporter, participant and promoter of business cooperation between china and the United States. Boeing has played an important role in pushing forward china U.S. relations; indeed you are an excellent example of win-win business cooperation between china and the United States."

Boeing CEO Ray Conner speaks highly of the President's commitment to work with Boeing.

"President's Xi's visit is a testament to the relationship between our countries and between Boeing and China."

President Xi will soon head to Washington D.C. for a meeting with his US counterpart Barack Obama.
