U.S.- China Internet Industry Forum
Under Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Robert D. Hormats addressed both the challenges and the opportunities for cooperation in three key areas each of which have been focal points of discussion and which have been mentioned by previous speakers: (1) internet governance, (2) internet freedom, and (3) the growing attention being devoted to the increasingly serious problem of cyber incidents, theft of trade secrets and intellectual property rights violations.
Outcomes:
Hormats called for greater levels of collaboration and mutual confidence. He recommended increasing the frequency and depth of international dialogue -- and agreed that they must produce constructive results. He also addressed making room for more industry voices; for instance, the United States would welcome the opportunity to include Chinese and American businesses during portions of the next round of the Bilateral Consultations on Communication and Information Policy.
