China’s cyberspace is entering a new era of improved governance and safety, reflecting the nation’s intensified efforts to create a cleaner and more secure online environment.
On Monday, Yang Jianwen, deputy director of the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), announced at a press conference that significant strides have been made in enhancing the country’s internet landscape. Over the past year, a staggering 57.45 million pieces of illegal or inappropriate content have been removed or blocked, showcasing the robust measures undertaken to curb harmful information.
In addition to content removal, the CAC has also shut down over 4,800 websites and platforms during this period. These actions have contributed to a noticeable improvement in the quality and safety of China’s online spaces, benefiting millions of internet users across the country.
“We have thoroughly reviewed our previous work to better assess the outcomes and consolidate our achievements,” Yang stated. “Moving forward, we will intensify our efforts to strengthen early warning systems and preventive measures, with a particular focus on addressing public concerns.”
The CAC’s commitment to enhancing cyberspace governance underscores China’s dedication to fostering a healthy online environment. By proactively identifying and eliminating harmful content, the authorities aim to protect citizens and promote positive online interactions.
