True value of information rides on interconnectivity

President Xi Jinping loves to talk about a "community of shared destiny", and now he is applying it to cyberspace. This is good news to everyone worried about a potential China-US, or China-West, standoff in the virtual world.

The controversial concept of cyber sovereignty aside, it should be reassuring for them to learn China wants peace in the global public sphere.

For anyone suspicious of Chinese intentions in cyberspace, Xi's show of willingness to engage in constructive interactions with the outside world is an overture worth serious response.
