HANGZHOU, Dec. 6 (Xinhua) -- China's chief justice Zhou Qiang called for international cooperation in the Internet judiciary to further rule of law in cyberspace when addressing a global event held Thursday in Wuzhen, eastern China's Zhejiang Province.

The judiciaries of countries across the world should strengthen exchanges and mutual learning to promote procedure- and law-based governance of cyberspace, Zhou Qiang, president of the Supreme People's Court of China, said at the World Forum on Rule of Law on Internet.
