CHINA foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning, at a Nov. 3 regular briefing, said
rapid technological change must benefit humanity and cited Xi Jinping’s 2015
call to build a community of shared future in cyberspace as China’s approach to
internet development and governance. She said internet development should be
people-centered—enhancing human capabilities, expanding choice, affirming human
value and improving welfare—and must not make people subservient to technology
or allow technology to deepen development disparities.
