"In recent years China has been actively exploring the Internet governance mode, one fits with her own conditions, which could both promote the development and ensure safety, both guarantee netizens'  freedom and safeguard the normal order of Internet," Lu Wei, Director of China National Internet Information office, told the first Plenary Council of Netmundial Initiative, which was held in Sao Paulo, Brazil on June 30, 2015.

Lu noted that last year at this time, Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a speech at the National Congress of Brazil titled "Carrying Forward Traditional Friendship and Jointly Opening up New Chapter of Cooperation" during his visit to Brazil. Xi put forward the idea of shared Internet governance, advocated to jointly build a peaceful, safe, open and cooperative Internet space and a multilateral, democratic and transparent international internet governance system. His proposal was highly praised and widely recognized by the international community.

Co-launched by ICANN, Brazilian internet body CGI.br and World Economic Forum, the Netmundial Initiative devotes to establishing open discussion platforms for online Internet governance solutions.

"The governments have gradually understood and placed great importance to the digital space governance and been aware of building a multilateral governance platform step by step in recent years. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff said at the end of 2013 that the Internet governance should adopt multi-stakeholders participation mode and Chinese government must be involved in the governance organization," Fadi Chehad, the president of ICANN said at the first council of Netmundial Initiative.

European Commission official Constantijn Van Oranje-Nassau said that China's Internet governance mode could be said to be perfect. The EU believes it is necessary to build a platform through which Internet multi-stakeholders could strengthen further understanding of each other. Global open communication could make the platform more compatible and exoteric thus to tap its real potential.
