[Learning in progress] Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has attached great importance to the Internet, developed the Internet, and governed the Internet. It has promoted historic achievements in my country's cybersecurity and informatization industry, and embarked on a path of governance with Chinese characteristics.
General Secretary Xi Jinping published a series of important expositions on the building of a network power, and put forward a series of new ideas, new viewpoints and conclusions, which provided a fundamental basis for the development of the network information industry in the new era.
Recently, "Excerpts from Xi Jinping's Essays on Network Power" was released nationwide.
Xinhua News Agency’s "Study in Progress" sorts out the important expositions for you and learns with you.
Strengthen the Party's centralized and unified leadership over cybersecurity and informatization work
In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I proposed to build a network power, a digital China, and a smart society. The Third Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party proposed to strengthen and optimize the party's leadership of cybersecurity and informatization work.
This is a major decision made by the Party Central Committee based on the overall development of the party and the country.
——"Speech at the National Cyber Security and Informatization Work Conference" (April 20, 2018)
It is necessary to have a clear-cut and unswerving adherence to the party's management of the Internet, strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee over the work of cybersecurity and informatization, and ensure that the cybersecurity and informatization industry always advances in the right direction.
——"Speech at the National Cyber Security and Informatization Work Conference" (April 20, 2018)
The development of Internet information industry must implement the people-centered development thought
"The behavior is born from oneself, the name is born from others." As I said, only caring wealth is truly meaningful wealth, and only companies that actively undertake social responsibilities are the most competitive and vital companies.
Those who run a website cannot blindly pursue click-through rates, those who open an online store must guard against counterfeiting, those who do social platforms cannot become a spreader of rumors, and those who do search cannot just use the amount of money as a ranking criterion.
It is hoped that the majority of Internet companies will adhere to the unification of economic and social benefits, and while developing themselves, they can drink water for their source, repay society, and benefit the people.

The development of cybersecurity and informatization must implement the people-centered development philosophy, and take the improvement of people's well-being as the starting point and goal of informatization development, so that the people have more sense of gain, happiness, and security in the development of informatization.

Efforts to build our country into a network power
Cyber security and informatization are major strategic issues related to national security and national development, as well as the work and life of the people. It is necessary to proceed from the general international and domestic trends, make overall arrangements, coordinate all parties, innovate and develop, and strive to build my country into a network power. .
——"Efforts to Build my country into a Network Power" (February 27, 2014), "Xi Jinping Talks about Governing the Country" Volume 1, Foreign Languages Publishing House, 2018 Edition, p.197
In today's world, a new all-round competition for comprehensive national strength is unfolding globally.
Whether it can adapt to and lead the development of the Internet has become a key to the rise and fall of a major country.
All major countries in the world regard informatization as a national strategic priority and a priority for development. The competition for dominance in the development of cyberspace and control over the Internet has become increasingly fierce. The world power map has been redrawn due to informatization, and the Internet has become an important force affecting the world.
In today's world, whoever masters the Internet will grasp the initiative of the times; whoever despise the Internet will be abandoned by the times.
To a certain extent, it can be said that those who have the Internet have the world.

Resolutely win the online ideological struggle
We are a socialist country led by the Communist Party of China. Why can't we speak of the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the socialist system? Why can't we speak up!
The more someone wants to suppress the voice of positive public opinion, the more we must speak up.
If evil does not suppress the righteousness, and if the positive voices on the Internet become stronger, the influence of negative public opinion can be reduced.
——"Speech in a collective conversation with the new leadership of the Central Committee of the League" (June 20, 2013)
The issue of cyber ideological security risks deserves great attention.
The Internet is at the forefront of the current ideological struggle.
To hold the dominance of network ideology is to protect the sovereignty and power of the country.
Party committees and party members and cadres at all levels must take the maintenance of cyber ideological security as an important mission of conserving the soil and fulfilling their responsibilities, give full play to the advantages of the system and system, adhere to both management, use and prevention, and work together in all aspects to resolutely win the cyber ideological struggle, and earnestly safeguard the security of political power and systems. National political security with security as the core.

Construct concentric circles online and offline
It is not easy to build consensus, and everyone must work together.
In order to achieve our goal, concentric circles must be formed online and offline.
What are concentric circles?
It is under the leadership of the party to mobilize the people of all ethnic groups across the country, mobilize all areas and areas, and work together to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
——"Speech at the Symposium on Cyber Security and Informatization" (April 19, 2016), Xi Jinping, "On the Party's Propaganda and Ideological Work", Central Literature Publishing House, 2020 edition, p.195
To win people's hearts, we must distinguish between different problems and adopt different methods.
I said that it is necessary to distinguish between political issues, ideological issues, and academic issues. This is also applicable online.
For academic issues, we must insist on letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, and actively guide them; for ideological and understanding issues, we must actively transform and fight for it through education; for political issues, we must strictly restrain them and carry out necessary struggles.
Neither can they treat online political issues as general issues, lack political sensitivity and political vigilance, be slow to respond, and deal with negativity; nor can they politicize general issues, treat public opinion as enemy sentiment, simply and rudely, and delete them.
——"Speech at the National Cyber Security and Informatization Work Conference" (April 20, 2018)
Maintain national cyber security
Cybersecurity and informatization affect many areas of a country. It is necessary to recognize the situation and tasks we are facing, fully understand the importance and urgency of doing a good job, and plan accordingly. Move, follow the trend.
——"Efforts to Build my country into a Network Power" (February 27, 2014), "Xi Jinping Talks about Governing the Country" Volume One, Foreign Languages Publishing House 2018 Edition, pages 197-198
Perceive the network security situation in an all-round way.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
Not realizing that risk is the biggest risk.
Network security is highly concealed. A technical loophole or security risk may be hidden for several years and cannot be discovered. The result is "I don't know who came in, I don't know whether it is an enemy or a friend, I don't know what I did." Inside, it happens when something happens.

Accelerate the promotion of core technology breakthroughs in the information field
The core technology of the Internet is our biggest "fate", and the core technology being restricted by others is our biggest hidden danger.
No matter how large an Internet company is and its market value is high, if its core components rely heavily on foreign countries, and the "life gate" of the supply chain is in the hands of others, it is like building a house on someone else's wall, no matter how big and beautiful it is It may not stand up to wind and rain, and may even be vulnerable.
If we want to grasp the initiative in my country's Internet development and ensure Internet security and national security, we must break through the core technology problem and strive to achieve "curve overtaking" in certain fields and aspects.
——"Speech at the Symposium on Cyber Security and Informatization" (April 19, 2016), Xi Jinping, "On the Party's Propaganda and Ideological Work", Central Literature Publishing House, 2020 edition, p.197
To achieve core technological breakthroughs, we must take the road of independent innovation.
The true core technology cannot be bought with money and cannot be exchanged in the market.
——"Speech at the National Cyber Security and Informatization Work Conference" (April 20, 2018)
Give full play to the driving and leading role of informatization for economic and social development
Network information flows across borders. Information flow leads the flow of technology, capital, and talent. Information resources are increasingly becoming an important factor of production and social wealth. The amount of information held has become an important indicator of a country’s soft power and competitiveness.
——"Efforts to Build my country into a Network Power" (February 27, 2014), "Xi Jinping Talks about Governing the Country" Volume One, Foreign Languages Publishing House, 2018 Edition, p.198
The world economy is rapidly transforming into economic activities with the network information technology industry as an important content.
We must seize this historical opportunity to cultivate new kinetic energy with informatization and promote new development with new kinetic energy.
It is necessary to increase investment, strengthen the construction of information infrastructure, promote the deep integration of the Internet and the real economy, accelerate the digitization and intelligentization of traditional industries, expand and strengthen the digital economy, and expand new space for economic development.
