More candor and mutual trust called for at Internet forum

Mutual trust, less suspicion and more candid talk should be the ingredients to help China and the United States seek common ground and solve difficult problems when it comes to the Internet, said industry players, government officials and scholars at the US-China Internet Industry Forum on Wednesday in Redmond, Washington.

The forum, now in its eighth consecutive year, was held at the Redmond campus of Microsoft.

Lu Wei, minister of the Cyberspace Administration of China, assured those attending that the Chinese government will continue to welcome foreign investment and technology.
