Consensus sought with US on governance of Internet

Beijing wants to seek consensus with Washington at an upcoming worldwide network summit on how the Internet should be governed, an official at China's cyberspace watchdog said on Thursday.

Talks and communications relating to the Internet between the US and China have gone smoothly recently, said Lu Wei, director of the Cyberspace Administration of China, at a news conference in Beijing.

"I believe that we can forge more agreements and maintain Sino-US relations at the forthcoming World Internet Conference," Lu said
