Ready to meet challenges together

Leaders of major Chinese Internet companies said on Wednesday that they are ready to cooperate with their US counterparts to meet challenges together, including cyberattacks and exploring business opportunities:

Liu Qiangdong, founder and chairman of e-commerce company JD.com:

"A transnational organization should be set up for Internet companies to address shared issues, such as cybersecurity issues. In fact, every big Internet company is a victim of cyberattacks. For instance, JD.com suffers from tens of thousands of hacks every day. They have to spend large amounts of time, money and energy on responding to cyberattacks. If an organization could be established to defend the enterprises as a whole, I believe the risks of being hacked would be greatly reduced.

"I hope cyberspace authorities in China and the United States can lead efforts to organize the major Internet companies together in the hope of locating the source of attacks immediately.
