As the "latest step to implement the Global Governance Initiative and build a community with a shared future in cyberspace," China submitted the paper to share its "latest position and propositions on global cyber governance in the digital-intelligent age," according to the spokesman. "The document advocates respecting digital sovereignty and promoting development for all.

The document stresses that all countries should observe the purposes and principles of the UN Charter in cyberspace to jointly safeguard peace and stability. It also calls for upholding multilateralism, addressing effectively the disruptive impact of emerging technologies such as AI on cyber security, and formulating international cyberspace rules that keep pace with the times," he said. "China stands ready to have closer cooperation with other countries to enable a more just, equitable and effective international order in cyberspace and build a community with a shared future in cyberspace," Lin said.
