The Internet is not beyond law and it should be ruled in accordance with a country's laws and regulations, said President Xi Jinping at the opening ceremony of the Second WIC in Wuzhen.

There are certain common principles in cyberspace that all countries should follow to assure win-win outcomes, however, each country is unique and its Internet governance models will reflect this.

China is a major victim of cyber hacking as many deem it a rising threat. The Chinese government and IT companies trawl the Internet looking for online rumors, pornography, gambling and other cyber crimes to protect the lawful interests of its citizens.

There is no "absolute" freedom in either the physical world or cyberspace. Freedom and order must be upheld side by side. Freedom is the purpose and order is the means.

China applies rule of law to the Internet with the enacting of new laws and regulations regarding cyber security and other Internet areas.

These laws not only provide the legal basis for counter-cyber crime work, but also guarantee the lawful interests of Internet users and companies at home and abroad.
