China, ROK cyberspace cooperation urged

China and the Republic of Korea should cooperate more to safeguard cybersovereignty and cybersecurity, the head of the Chinese Internet information regulatory agency said in Seoul on Tuesday.

Lu Wei, minister of the State Internet Information Office, delivered a keynote speech at the second China-ROK Internet Roundtable, an annual event co-hosted by the office and the ROK Ministry of Future Creation and Science. China and the ROK should work together to build a new international order that can safeguard cybersovereignty and encompass Internet governance in UN multilateral frameworks, Lu said.

Jia Xiudong, a researcher on international affairs at the China Institute of International Studies, agreed.
