Beijing urges greater cyberspace cooperation

China called for cooperation with Southeast Asian countries in sharing Internet-related information to fight cyberterrorism.

The Internet should not become a breeding ground for terrorism, said Lu Wei, director of the Cyberspace Administration of China, in a speech on Friday at the China-ASEAN Cyberspace Forum in Nanning, the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

"Online development without security will make the Internet more harmful," he said. "We should keep it from becoming a platform for crimes and attacks, or the tool for organizing terrorism."
