Benefits to be shared in digital economy

China is committed to promoting the internet's development with mutual trust and global governance, calling for international cooperation and communication in the digital economy, said Liu Liehong, deputy director of the Cyberspace Administration of China.

Liu said amid rising trade protectionism in the world, China is willing to develop a digital economy with openness and shared benefits.

"China is willing to share development opportunities of the internet with other countries," Liu said at a State Council Information Office news conference on Friday. "We welcome foreign internet companies to develop their business in China, on the condition that they abide by local laws and regulations as well as respect the nation's history and culture."
