Xi: Harness web to ensure security
President Xi Jinping urged officials at all levels to increase their familiarity with the internet and improve their skills in using technology to better safeguard China's cyberspace sovereignty and security.
Information technology is developing rapidly worldwide and penetrating into all aspects of people's lives, and although China has made progress in developing IT and ensuring cybersecurity, it still lags far behind international levels, Xi said at a meeting attended by members of China's decision-making political bureau on Sunday.
During the meeting, Wei Shaojun, a professor at Tsinghua University's Institute of Microelectronics, gave a lecture on facilitating the development of internet technology and improving management of the web.
