China has the largest population of internet users of all countries in the world. This was again illustrated on Singles Day, famously known in China as “Double 11” (11th day of the 11th month of the year), Alibaba alone registered a record online sales of RMB 120.7bn (USD 17.57bn), more than the volumes registered by the US counterparts of Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined.
中国是世界上网民数量最多的国家。而今年的单身节，也就是“双十一”又一次很好的证明了这一事实，仅阿里巴巴一家的网络交际总额就已达到了创纪录的1207亿元人民币（175.7亿美元），比美国一年中两个最大规模的促销活动–黑色星期五和网络星期一的总交易额相加之后还要高。
The internet is therefore a priority for the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party. On 7 November, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress adopted the country’s first Cybersecurity Law, clarifying for the first time the responsibilities of governments, enterprises and individuals in cyberspace.
当然，互联网也自然而然成为了中国政府的发展重点之一。就在刚过去不久的11月7日，全国人大常委会通过了《中华人民共和国网络安全法》。这是中国第一部专门针对网络安全的立法，首次系统阐明了在网络空间中政府、企业和个人的职责。
In parallel, China hosted the 3rd annual World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Eastern China. Under the theme “Innovation-driven Internet Development for the Benefit of All – Building a Community of Common Future in Cyberspace”, the three-day conference gathered over 1,600 Internet stakeholders from China and other 110 countries. Cooperation and innovation are probably the best words to describe the spirit of the global event, which took place on 16-18 November.
与此同时，中国于11月16日至18日在乌镇召开了第三次世界互联网大会。以“创新驱动 造福人类—携手共建网络空间命运共同体”为主题，为期三天的会议聚集了来自中外110个国家的超过1600家互联网企业。合作与创新大概是诠释这一全球盛会精神的最佳词汇。
President Xi Jinping addresses the Conference via video conference
习近平主席在大会开幕式上通过视频发表讲话
“The development of the Internet knows no international boundaries. The sound use, development and governance of the Internet thus calls for closer cooperation”, said Chinese President Xi Jinping in his opening address to the conference, delivered via video conference (full speech available here). Minister Xu Lin, the new Director of the Cyberspace Administration of China, added: “being open and cooperative is the only way to promote the development of the digital economy. China will step up efforts to push forward bilateral and multilateral cooperation projects”.
“互联网发展是无国界、无边界的，利用好、发展好、治理好互联网必须深化网络空间国际合作，携手构建网络空间命运共同体”，习近平主席在开幕式上通过视频发表讲话时这样说道 （点击此处观看完整讲话视频）。中央网信办新任主任徐麟在其讲话中也对这一点进行了补充：“开放合作是推动数字经济发展的必由之路，中国将大力实施双边和多边数字经济合作项目。”
A concrete evidence of the interest of the Chinese authorities to cooperate globally are the key slots that were assigned to EU – including to ChinaEU and a delegation of representatives of the European industry and European national governments brought by ChinaEU- and US participants in this year conference.
让我们用一个具体的事实来证明中国政府确实对于全球合作抱有高度兴趣：在本次大会上，包括中欧数字协会和中欧数字协会带来的欧洲政府及行业代表团在内的欧美与会嘉宾都充分参与了所有重要的讲话环节。
China-Europe Digital Economy Dialogue
中欧数字经济对话
During his visit to Brussels in October for the China-EU High Level Economic and Trade Dialogue, Vice-President Ma Kai, proposed to organize a China-Europe Digital Economy Forum, aimed at exploring new opportunities for pragmatic cooperation in digital industries. This forum was held also in Wuzhen on 17 November.
在国务院副总理马凯今年10月到访布鲁塞尔主持第六次中欧经贸高层对话期间，他曾提议举办一个中欧数字经济论坛来探索双方在数字行业开展务实合作的新机遇。该论坛也于11月17日在乌镇举行。

In his keynote speech, Vice Minister Fang Aiqing of the Ministry of Commerce, the organizer of the China-Europe Digital Economy Dialogue, recalled the immense potential of the digital cooperation between the two regions, which despite the existing differences, have a common vision in the digital economy development. According to the Vice Minister, “it is crucial that Europe and China strengthen dialogue on key areas such as telecommunication infrastructure, big data, cloud computing, IoT and artificial intelligence, while jointly promoting a system for international rules in the digital economy.”
商务部是中欧数字经济对话的组织者。商务部副部长房爱卿在其主旨发言中再次强调了中欧在数字合作领域的巨大潜力，虽然双方国情不同、文化有异，但推动数字经济增长、实现创新发展的目标却是一致的。他说：“中欧在网络基础设施、大数据、云计算、物联网和人工智能等数字经济重点领域加强对话至关重要。中国愿与欧洲共同努力，构建数字经济国际规则体系共识。”
Sebastien Soriano, Chairman of Arcep and Incoming Chair of BEREC, delivers a keynote speech at the China-Europe Digital Economy Dialogue
法国电子通信与邮政监管局主席、欧洲电子传播监管机构联合体下一任主席Sebastien Soriano在中欧数字经济对话上发表主旨演讲
Sebastien Soriano, Chairman of Arcep (the French national telecom regulatory agency) and Incoming Chair of BEREC (the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications), explained in his keynote speech that “European regulators want to preserve the Internet as an open platform for innovation by making net neutrality a reality, by preventing the appearance of new bottlenecks in the digital value chain and by supporting the emergence of innovative networks”.
法国电子通信与邮政监管局主席、欧洲电子传播监管机构联合体下一任主席Sebastien Soriano 在讲话中说明：“欧洲监管机构希望通过实现网络中立性、防止数字价值链出现新瓶颈以及支持创新网络产生等手段来维护互联网这个益于创新的开放平台。
Giovanni Pitruzzella, President of the Italian Competition Authority, delivers a keynote speech at the China-Europe Digital Economy Dialogue
意大利反垄断局主席Giovanni Pitruzzella在中欧数字经济对话上发表主旨演讲
Maintaining incentives for innovation is also the objective of the work of anti-trust authorities, whose difficult challenge is to distinguish companies’ anticompetitive behavior from aggressive but procompetitive business strategies and thus strike a balance between the risks of over-enforcement and those of under-enforcement. Giovanni Pitruzzella, President of the Italian national Competition Authority, concluded: “The returns of increased cooperation at the global level are magnified in the face of an epochal process of change in the digital era and need to be fully exploited in order to create an efficient and solid global digital economy.”
坚持刺激创新也是反垄断当局的工作目标之一，其工作难点是区别公司的反竞争行为和正当但具有侵略性的促进竞争行为，从而在适度执法和过度执法风险之中寻求平衡。意大利反垄断局主席Giovanni Pitruzzella总结道：“加强全球合作的回报往往在面对这样一个数字时代的重大变革过程时被夸大，因此我们需要充分利用这一点以确保一个有效而坚实的全球数字经济。”
Xu Yu, Director General of the IT development bureau at the Cyberspace Administration of China speaks at the China-Europe Digital Economy Dialogue
国家互联网信息办公室、信息化发展局局长徐愈在中欧数字经济对话上发言
Across the various interventions, all speakers stressed the importance of cooperation. Cooperation was the rationale behind the creation in 2015 of two China-EU working groups with a focus on digital economy and cybersecurity, composed of industry experts from both regions. And in the pursuit of cooperation, according to Xu Yu, Director General of the IT development bureau at the Cyberspace Administration of China, “European countries and China should exchange experiences on policy making and legislation, share best practices and strengthen training and research cooperation to promote multi-level exchanges in the digital economy”.
在各个会场，所有的发言嘉宾都强调了合作的重要性。而“合作”也是2015年中欧成立以数字经济和网络安全为重点、由双方行业专家共同组成的两大工作组的幕后缘由。在寻求合作的过程中，国家互联网信息办公室、信息化发展局局长徐愈表示：“欧洲各国和中国应充分交换各自政策和法规制定经验、分享成功案例、并加强联合培养和研究合作，以促进数字经济领域交流朝着全方位，多层次，宽领域的方向不断发展。”
Luigi Gambardella, President of ChinaEU, addresses the China-Europe Digital Economy Dialogue
中欧数字协会主席Luigi Gambardella在中欧数字经济对话上发言
Boosting cooperation on research is a major purpose of ChinaEU, who is working with Chinese partners and leading universities on the establishment of a China-EU Digital Research Center that has this comparative regulatory assessment as its main task. The Center would provide an inventory of the rules applicable in China and the main EU countries in an easily accessible format as well as the assessment of their relative performance, which would be useful for Chinese and EU decision makers. “China and Europe should prepare together the transition to the digital economy, by avoiding rules that stifle innovation and discover better ways to address consumers’ needs and show users the benefits of the digital revolution” , said Luigi Gambardella in his intervention.
中欧数字协会的重点使命之一便是推动中欧双方在研究领域的合作。协会目前正在和它的中国伙伴以及顶尖学府一起努力，希望促成一个中欧数字研究中心的建立，对双方数字市场的监管规则进行对比评估和研究。该中心将以便捷形式提供一个适用于中国和欧盟主要成员国的管理条例清单，并为它们相对的表现进行评估，这对中国和欧盟政策决定者们来说会是一个莫大的帮助。Luigi Gambardella 在发言中表示：“中欧应携手共同应对数字经济转型，为此我们需要避免阻碍创新的监管错误、发掘更好的方式来促进消费者需求，同时也要向用户宣传数字革命所带来的好处。”

国家互联网信息办公室主任徐麟为论坛致开幕词
Minister Xu Lin, Head of CAC, opened the floor reminding the audience that “China is willing to work together with other courtiers to further develop a digital economy with innovation at the core, coordination and toleration as principles, trust and security as premise, the people as ultimate goal.”
国家互联网信息办公室主任徐麟在开场致辞中强调：“中国愿与世界各国一道，大力发展以创新驱动为内核、以协调包容为要义、以开放合作为基础、以安全可信为前提、以造福人民为宗旨的数字经济，协力推动世界经济走上强劲、可持续、平衡、包容增长之路。”
Reid Hoffman, Chairman and co-Founder of LinkedIn, speaks at the Digital Economy Forum
领英执行主席、联合创始人Reid Hoffman在数字经济论坛上发言
People development was the focus of the speech of Reid Hoffman, Chairman of LinkedIn, who in revealing the group’s strategy for China, said: “ we wish to take full use of big data for the talent market, including recruitment, but also cooperation on companies’ development. We also hope our big data will be shared among all cities, for a better-connected world and a more prosperous future.”
关注个人发展是领英执行主席、联合创始人Reid Hoffman发言的重点。当解读领英开拓中国市场战略时，他说：“我们希望充分利用人才市场的大数据，包括人才的招募，包括在企业的发展方面开展合作。同时我们也希望我们的这些大数据和相关信息可以分享给所有的城市，帮助它们取得更好的连接，实现共同繁荣的未来。”
Indeed, talent exchange can be a very promising area in the cooperation between China and the rest of the world. And this is true in both directions, as many companies would benefit from a more diversified talent source with different skillsets and different backgrounds. Another important aspect in the digital cooperation is of course 5G, the future mobile telecommunications technology, something where telecom vendors and operators from all over the world are anxiously putting their hands on. Not surprisingly, 5G development is also the priority number one of GSMA, the association of the mobile operators worldwide, which was represented at WIC by John Hoffman, its CEO.
的确，人才交流是中外合作前景非常广阔的一个领域，而人才的流动确实也使双向受益，因为许多公司能够得益于这样一个更加多元化的人才来源，满足其对不同背景和多样技能人才的需求。数字合作的另一个重要方面当然是未来第五代移动通信技术5G，世界各地的电信供应商和运营商也都迫不及待地想分一杯羹。那么5G成为全球移动通信协会（GSMA）的首要发展重点自然也不奇怪，它的首席执行官John Hoffman作为代表参与了本届互联网大会。
Panel discussion at the Digital Economy Forum
数字经济论坛对话环节
On this point, intervening in the panel discussion, Luigi Gambardella, President of ChinaEU, said: “The digital economy offers huge opportunities for cooperation, for example for the development of the future 5G networks and the applications that will run over it.

针对这一点，中欧数字协会主席Luigi Gambardella在参与对话环节时继而补充：“数字经济为合作提供巨大机遇，比如未来5G网络的发展和基于其上的各种应用。全球电子商务同样也前景光明，这一点我们从近期腾讯和阿里巴巴对欧洲市场的兴趣上就可以看出。”

世界互联网领先科技成果发布活动
Alibaba’s sales records on the national shopping day was the representation of the triumph of its world-class e-commerce technology. It is thus no wonder that Alibaba’s e-commerce transaction processing platform was praised as one of the world’s top leading Internet scientific and technological achievements.
阿里巴巴“双十一”的创纪录交易额实际上也代表着其背后国际一流电商技术的胜利。毫无疑问，阿里巴巴的电子商务交易处理平台被公认为世界领先互联网科学技术成就之一当之无愧。
And this leads us to the second core spirit of WIC: innovation.
