  • China As a "Cyber Great Power": Beijing's Two Voices In
    SECURITY, STRATEGY, AND ORDER APRIL 2021 CHINA AS A “CYBER GREAT POWER” BEIJING’S TWO VOICES IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS RUSH DOSHI, EMILY DE LA BRUYÈRE, NATHAN PICARSIC, AND JOHN FERGUSON CHINA AS A “CYBER GREAT POWER” BEIJING’S TWO VOICES IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS RUSH DOSHI, EMILY DE LA BRUYÈRE, NATHAN PICARSIC, AND JOHN FERGUSON EXECUTIVE SUMMARY External Chinese government and commercial messaging on information technology (IT) speaks in one voice. Domestically, one hears a different, second voice. The former stresses free markets, openness, collaboration, and interdependence, themes that suggest Huawei and other Chinese companies ought to be treated like other global private sector actors and welcomed into foreign networks. Meanwhile, domestic Chinese government, commercial, and academic discourse emphasizes the limits of free markets and the dangers of reliance on foreign technologies — and, accordingly, the need for industrial policy and government control to protect technologies, companies, and networks. Domestic Chinese discourse also indicates that commercial communication networks, including telecommunications systems, might be used to project power and influence offensively; that international technical standards offer a means with which to cement such power and influence; and — above all — that IT architectures are a domain of zero-sum competition. That external Chinese government and corporate messaging might be disingenuous is by no means a novel conclusion. However, the core differences between that messaging and Chinese internal discussion on IT remain largely undocumented — despite China’s increasing development of and influence over international IT infrastructures, technologies, and norms. This report seeks to fill that gap, documenting the tension between external and internal Chinese discussions on telecommunications, as well as IT more broadly.

  • Reformas E Nova Estrutura Do Governo Chinês
    INFORMATIVO Nº. 95. ABRIL de 2018 Reformas e Nova Estrutura do Governo Chinês O 13º Congresso Nacional do Povo aprovou a nova formação do governo chinês após concluir uma série de reuniões de âmbito governamental realizadas desde o início de março. Além de apresentar os novos nomes que farão parte do governo chinês, foram anunciadas também significativas revisões na própria estrutura do Estado. A reforma configurou uma reestruturação que contará com 26 ministérios e comissões de nível ministerial ligados ao Conselho de Estado - uma entidade ministerial a mais em comparação com a configuração anterior, estabelecida em 2013 no contexto da formação do 12º Congresso Nacional do Povo. De forma geral, esse rearranjo tem como objetivo assegurar maior eficiência de coordenação do Estado e do Partido, de modo a evitar a sobreposição de responsabilidades de mais de uma entidade governamental sobre um mesmo tema. Nesse sentido, a criação de novos ministérios é em parte direcionada ao gerenciamento de temas particularmente complexos no contexto da China contemporânea, como imprudência financeira por parte de bancos estatais, poluição ambiental e corrupção no contexto do Partido-Estado. No caso do combate a poluição, por exemplo, foram criados o Ministério de Recursos Naturais e o Ministério da Ecologia e Meio Ambiente, que passarão a exercer controle sobre temas como mudanças climáticas, recuperação de terras agricultáveis e proteção ambiental, que eram antes de responsabilidade de entidades agora desmanteladas, como o Ministério da Agricultura e o Ministério da Proteção Ambiental. É evidente também que muitos dos nomes eleitos para altos cargos na nova estrutura do governo são importantes aliados de Xi, o que deve garantir o fortalecimento do presidente chinês em seu segundo mandato.

  • December 4, 2013 His Excellency Li Keqiang Premier People's Republic
    December 4, 2013 His Excellency Li Keqiang Premier People’s Republic of China Dear Premier Li: Our associations represent tens of thousands of companies from around the world that assign great importance to our trade and investment relations with China. We are writing to urge your government to actively help steer the negotiations to expand product coverage of the Information Technology Agreement (ITA) to a successful conclusion as soon as possible. As a leading manufacturer and exporter of technology products, China stands to be one of the largest beneficiaries of an expanded ITA. Trade data demonstrate the current ITA has helped generate significant benefits for China. According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), China’s share of global exports of information technology products has grown from 2.2 percent in 1996 to 27.5 percent in 2010. An expanded ITA would similarly contribute to the Chinese economy and help strengthen your country’s innovation capacity. As you may know, the ITA expansion talks broke down in Geneva on November 21, despite tremendous progress over the past year by nearly all parties in the negotiation to achieve an ambitious outcome. In fact, virtually every negotiating member made significant and constructive compromises to achieve this goal at what was hoped to be the final round of talks last month. Even though China took positive steps in October that helped bring an end to a three-month suspension in negotiations, it arrived in Geneva for the November talks with what appeared to be a narrow mandate, allowing only limited improvements to its list of import-sensitive products.

  • I Am WANG Yapeng from China Academy of Information and Communication Technology, a Research Institution Affiliated to Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
    Distinguished Secretary General, Dear colleagues, good afternoon! I am WANG Yapeng from China Academy of Information and Communication Technology, a research institution affiliated to Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. First, we would like to extend our appreciation to APT for providing the online platform for APT members to communicate with each other during this difficult time when COVID-19 is spreading across the world. It is very necessary for us to discuss how to use digital technologies to respond to the pandemic. During COVID-19, ICT is playing a very important role in responding to the pandemic and there are several cases how digital technology to respond to pandemic, such as Material Dispatching Platform, Statistics platform, Case tracking & modeling and so on. Here, I’d like to share three typical cases in China which have been introduced by H.E. Mr. Miao Wei, Minister of MIIT during Extraordinary G20 Digital Economy Ministerial Meeting The first one is about agriculture. On January 23, Wuhan was locked down. As you may know, Wuhan is a city with a population of over 10million. Due to the lockdown, all the citizens had to stay at home, but their daily supplies must be guaranteed. We relied on the ecommerce and the volunteers to deliver the essential supplies to the homes of the people in need. January and February are also the months of harvest for the agricultural and sideline products. How to deliver those products out of Hubei Province. That was also a big challenge we encountered. The local government relied on ecommerce platforms and logistics companies to deliver the agriculture and sideline products to the homes of the Chinese people across the country.
