[Explanation] From September 26 to 28, the 2021 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit jointly organized by the State Cyberspace Administration of China and the Zhejiang Provincial Government was held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang.

Wu Hequan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that since the World Internet Conference held in Wuzhen in 2014, it has pointed out the direction for the development of China's national Internet.

  Since 2014, the World Internet Conference has been held in Wuzhen, which has pointed out the direction of our country’s Internet development. These are also the purposes of our Internet Conference.

From the perspective of the development of the Internet Conference over the years, it has indeed become an influential Internet event in the world.

Of course, due to the impact of the epidemic, there may be fewer foreign guests now, but it is still possible to participate online, so internationalization should be a highlight of the Internet conference.

Through this platform, to promote our country's Internet propositions is also a call for the establishment of a fair, reasonable, orderly, and inclusive Internet development mechanism around the world to build a community with a shared future in cyberspace.

  [Explanation] The recent situation of China's governance and rectification of the Internet industry has aroused speculation from the outside world.

Wu Hequan pointed out that guiding and governing is not about avoiding the development of the Internet, but for Internet companies in the development process to turn China’s consumer Internet to the industrial Internet and better integrate the real economy.

  It’s not that we don’t want the development of the Internet, nor that we don’t want Internet companies to grow bigger. We just hope that Internet companies can better drive the development of small and medium-sized Internet companies in the process of becoming bigger. Turning to the Industrial Internet can better integrate with the real economy.

Because the real economy is a foundation of Internet content services, they are actually complementary and not opposite. I think this is also the voice that the Internet needs to deliver.

  [Explanation] Wu Hequan said that the use of digital technology to support poverty alleviation plays an important role in the fight against poverty. How to eliminate the digital divide and support common prosperity through digitization is one of the important topics of the Internet in the future.

  How to eliminate the digital divide through digitization can support common prosperity.

The use of digital technology to support poverty alleviation plays an important role, and of course it is not only rural e-commerce and rural live broadcasting.

We still have many things such as telemedicine and distance education, which are conducive to the equalization of our basic services, because excellent education and medical resources are always limited, and physical distribution is not enough to solve them. However, through the Internet, some of these can be provided. This kind of ability, so I think the potential of the Internet is still great.
