China eyes enhancing digital partnership

China will continue engaging in global artificial intelligence governance with a win-win approach while enhancing digital partnership with others, said officials and experts attending the World Internet Conference Digital Silk Road Development Forum in Quanzhou, Fujian province, on Thursday.

The forum, themed "Embracing the Digital and Intelligent Maritime Silk Road — Jointly Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace", was co-organized by the WIC and the Fujian provincial government. It drew more than 600 participants from 49 countries and regions and 13 international organizations.

China first proposed the building of a Digital Silk Road at the 2017 Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation.

Li Shulei, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, said that as a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation accelerates worldwide, the growing prominence of digitalization, networking and intelligentization underscores the strategic significance of developing the Digital Silk Road.
