China, US re-connect on cyber talk
While the China-US working group on cyber security has been suspended following the US decision in May to indict five People's Liberation Army officers for cyber espionage, bilateral contact seemed to resume in a way as senior officials, scholars and executives from Internet and telecom giants of both countries assembled in Washington. The 7th China US Internet Industry Forum drew some 150 participants, including Lu Wei, minister of the State Internet Information Office, which manages Internet information in China, and Catherine Novelli, the US under secretary of state for economic growth, energy and the environment.
Outcomes:
The Internet forum was first started seven years ago by Microsoft and the Internet Society of China. This year's meeting focuses on big data cloud service, Internet connectivity, governance and its impact on economic development and social benefits.
