It seems that China government is in no mood to give internet freedom in its people. Now, they are planning to table an idea of "cyber sovereignty" during the next BRICS summit.
Cyber sovereignty would allow every country to govern their cyberspace without any interference from other countries. China is due to host the next summit.
After releasing a white paper on international cooperation in the cyber space, Long Zhou, Coordinator of Cyber affairs division of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, told journalist that "As BRICS host this year, China stands ready to work together with Russia and other BRICS partners."
Whereas India which has mostly free internet would be reluctant to accept the Chinese model as much of the its IT industry is linked to western markets.
Cyber sovereignity is definitely agiainst the Internet freedom in China has banned many international sites like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, but still Chinese officials, Wang Jianchao, International Cooperation Department of the Cyberspace Administration of China, says that, "The Chinese Internet is fully open." China is the world's largest internet user country.
"As long as they comply with Chinese laws and regulations+ , refrain from undermining China's national interests and interests of Chinese consumers, all Internet companies are welcome in China," Jianchao said.
Cyber attacks, cyber espionage, surveillance have become major realistic issues confronting all countries," he said. "Countries in the whole world have increasing concerns in this regard. Cyberspace should not be a space of no laws. At the same time, the international community is also discussing about whether we should produce new international legal instruments to deal with the security situation in cyberspace. For example, how we can crack down on cyber terror or cross-boundary cyber crimes."
