How can the world collaborate better in cyberspace? Over 2,500 tech leaders, policymakers, and innovators gathered in Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province, this week to tackle this question at the 11th World Internet Conference (WIC). The spotlight? Showcasing groundbreaking initiatives that foster a 'community with a shared future in cyberspace.' 💻✨
The concept, first proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping at the 2015 WIC, has evolved into a rallying cry for international digital cooperation. 'This vision isn’t just about technology—it’s about humanity’s shared well-being,' emphasized Cao Shumin, deputy chief of China’s Cyberspace Administration, during the event’s case-study showcase.
From AI ethics frameworks to cross-border cybersecurity pacts, this year’s conference highlighted how nations are weaving digital threads into a global safety net. 🌍🔒 With 80+ countries now engaging with the initiative, Wuzhen continues to shape conversations about equitable access, innovation, and trust in our hyper-connected era.
