Building a community with a shared future in cyberspace is a continuous process of opening up, which cannot be achieved overnight, nor can it be achieved by relying on the strength of one country or one party alone. It requires the sustained joint efforts of all parties in the international community to seek common well-being and meet challenges on the basis of respecting the sovereignty of all countries. China is ready to work with the international community to practice the concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits in global governance, so that the fruits of digital civilization can better benefit the people of all countries, jointly promote the building of a community with a shared future in cyberspace to a new stage, and jointly create a better future for mankind.
