BEIJING, Nov.22 (Xinhuanet) -- China hosted the First Internet Conference and called for global Internet interconnectivity and joint efforts against Internet terrorism.
During the sub-forum on Nov. 20 with “strengthen cooperation to combat terrorism in any form” as its theme, security experts from China, Israel, the United States, Australia and South Africa reached agreement about cracking down on Internet terrorism via extensive international cooperation.
As can be seen from the terrorist incidents in recent years in Beijing, Xinjiang and Yunnan regions, Internet terrorism has become the main source of violent terrorist activities in general and the main means and channels for terrorist organizations to plan, fan up and implement their terrorist activities.
Terrorists utilize Internet, especially instant message technology, social media and cloud storage technology to spread violent terrorist ideology, technologies and to raise money for their terrorist activities.
For this reason, to strengthen international cooperation and jointly combat internet terrorism has become the consensus of all countries. And setting up a network of international anti-terrorism cooperation platforms is a priority indeed.
In addition to the integration of legal investigation and law enforcement, world wide cooperation in cultivating professionals and talents in the fight against cyber terrorism is also imperative.
To crack down on Internet terrorism needs the unity of all the forces that can be united and building a united effort.
Last but not least, governments and societies also need to provide the vulnerable and minority groups with security and inclusion, and make them believe that they receive equal opportunities and fair treatment.
