'Prism' burns America's Internet supremacy (2)

(People's Daily Online)

15:19, July 16, 2013

In implementing the new Internet order, we must respect the sovereignty and development level of all countries. We cannot allow individual powers to usurp control. These basic principles are not only an inexorable trend in the development of the real world of international relations, they also provide the direction for the development of the virtual world.

There is a competitive aspect in the development of Internet technology, but competition should not be disorderly. Unlike in the fields of trade or economy, the powerful cannot be allowed to use their strength to infringe on the sovereignty and interests of the weak. We need higher technology for the maintenance of virtual world order, but technological advantage should serve for the benefit of humanity and for promoting cooperation - it should not become a tool for consolidating hegemony, or for controlling or taking over other countries.

The Internet security problem is a new challenge faced by all the countries of the world. Making full use of new technology to ensure network security is the core of the problem. Exchanging criticism will not solve the problem; what is required is communication and cooperation to establish mutual trust, out of which will grow the rules that we can obey.

Among the many potential consequences of Prism, a most worthwhile one would be that from now on, no matter how powerful the Internet technology in the United States, its domination of the virtual world should become a thing of the past. But how to turn this principle into reality? How to formulate relevant international rules through the UN? There are still many questions to be asked, and still a long road to travel.
