"The principles are nice and important. But there's still a long way to go before they can be implemented by everybody. It's certainly true that internet development now has stronger momentum and broader room in China, but we have a long way to go to deal with both promoting the use of the internet and addressing all the rest that the internet creates, such as domestic and international risks. I think Xi's messages are encouraging words. It's exactly true that it is the responsibility of the international community to make the internet more beneficial to people. China has a big responsibility given how many internet users it has."
