Li Keqiang: The Internet is one of the greatest inventions of mankind.

"The world has become’ small’ because of the Internet, and it has become’ big’ because of the Internet." On the 20th, Li Keqiang described the Internet in his eyes in Hangzhou.

In the afternoon, Premier Li Keqiang met with Chinese and foreign representatives attending the first world internet conference in Hangzhou and had a discussion with them. The Prime Minister said that the birth of the Internet has shortened the distance of our geographical space and the time of information transmission, and made the world "smaller" in the wave of globalization and become a global village. On the other hand, the Internet has created a variety of industries, cultures and emerging formats, which have brought great changes to human economic development and social life, making the development potential contained in the world more and more "big".

"The location of the Internet conference is Wuzhen, a’ small town’, and the location of our discussion today is Hangzhou, a’ big city’." He said, "This just shows that’ small’ and’ big’ have their own important meanings. I am also very happy to discuss the development of the Internet with you. "

No matter they come from prosperous cities or remote villages, they can enjoy the right of consumption and have equal opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship.

Ma Yun, chairman of Alibaba’s board of directors, said in his speech that e-commerce will continue to affect domestic and international production methods in the future. "I have a point: in the era of big data and cloud computing, our way of thinking has changed from’ benefiting me’ to’ altruism’, everything can be transformed, and any consumption emphasizes experience, which will really have a huge impact on all aspects of human life in the next 20 years."

Li Keqiang nodded in approval: "Yesterday, I went to a village in Yiwu, where many migrants gathered and traded on various e-commerce platforms. This is the change brought by the network: a person, whether from a prosperous city or a remote village, can enjoy the right to consumption, and also have equal employment and entrepreneurship opportunities and share social equity."

Ma Yun also told the Prime Minister that he was "more and more confident" in solving the problem of counterfeiting and infringement of intellectual property rights in e-commerce. "Now the complaint rate of offline operation is once every 100,000 on average, and the complaint rate of online sales is once every 680,000 on average, and the online complaint rate is getting lower and lower."

Li Keqiang said with a smile: "I hope you will continue to explore online and offline integration, and, like the theme of this conference, share and govern together after integration, so as to reduce the complaint rate and give consumers more benefits."

What the government needs to do in the future is to provide operators with a legal environment for fair competition, and to strengthen infrastructure construction and improve efficiency.

Cao Guowei, chairman of Sina, said in his speech that after 20 years of development, China has become an undisputed Internet power, but it is not an Internet power, and different people have different opinions.

"The next 20 years will be the real golden age of Internet development in China, and I hope to get more support from the government." Cao Guowei said. He made two suggestions to the Prime Minister: on the one hand, improve Internet laws and regulations, and create a better industry environment to encourage innovation and fair competition; On the other hand, more efforts will be made to promote the construction of network infrastructure, so that enterprises can invest more in R&D and innovation, and better serve users, so that China’s Internet can better go global.

Li Keqiang nodded in approval: "I quite agree. What the government needs to do in the future is to provide operators with a legal environment for fair competition, and to strengthen infrastructure construction and improve efficiency. As for whether China is an Internet power, it is still up to anyone to comment. "

Speaking of this, Li Keqiang smiled and looked at the next speaker: "Mr. Fadi, you can comment."

Amid laughter, Fadi, president of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, began his speech.

China is willing to be an equal member of the Internet sharing and co-governance, safeguard the development and security of the network and safeguard world peace and prosperity.

The main content of Fadi’s speech is to welcome China to participate in Internet governance together with other parties.

"The Internet is incomplete without China." Fadi said, "I don’t know if the China government intends to hold an Internet conference next year? I am looking forward to meeting my colleagues in China again next year. "

Li Keqiang smiled and praised: "Your speech is very’ senior diplomat’ style." He said that a very important signal sent by world internet conference this time is that the Internet should be open and cooperative, and its sharing and co-governance require every country participating in the Internet to become an equal member.

"We say that the world has flattened, and a very important reason is the birth of the Internet. China is willing to cooperate with other countries as an equal member of Internet sharing and governance to jointly safeguard the development and security of the network and safeguard world peace and prosperity. " Li Keqiang said, "Only by equal participation and consensus can we form a rule that everyone can consciously abide by on the Internet."

In response to Fadi’s question about whether to hold an Internet conference next year, Li Keqiang said that if more and more Internet people are willing to participate, China is willing to hold this conference every year in principle.

Facebook vice president visits Li Keqiang.

Wu Hequan, chairman of internet society of china, emphasized the significance of China’s vigorous development of "Industrial Internet". He said that the industrial Internet is both an opportunity and a challenge for China in economic transformation. The government should support and encourage the development of cloud computing, take the lead in encouraging enterprises to release data, and lower the entry threshold of some industries, so that the Internet can penetrate into more industries.

"Tesla in the United States is not the automobile industry in the traditional sense." Wu Hequan said, "If Ma Yun enters the automobile industry one day, it may bring more vitality to the industry."

Li Keqiang smiled: "Academician He Hequan’s speech shows that the government still has a lot to do!"

He revealed at the scene that his trip after the symposium was to visit Geely Automobile, which coincided with Wu Hequan’s suggestion on "How Internet companies can cooperate with industry". Speaking of this, the Prime Minister sent an invitation to the Internet "big brothers" attending the meeting on the spot: "If the heads of Internet companies present here are willing, we can provide convenience to go together."

After the symposium, Vaughan Smith, vice president of Facebook website, really came to Geely Automobile to "visit" the Prime Minister. "I feel very excited to visit this car factory!" He told the Prime Minister in English, "After the visit, I really feel that we still have a lot to do."

The development direction of the Internet also includes cloud computing, big data and the Internet of Things.

"I ate Wangwang Snow Cake many years ago, and it is still fragrant today!" When talking with Cai Shaozhong, president of Taiwan Province Want Want Zhongshi Media Group, Li Keqiang said.

There was a burst of laughter at the meeting. In his speech, Cai Shaozhong focused on the attempt of Want Want Zhongshi Media Group to cooperate with mainland media, explore the effective integration of traditional media and the Internet, and develop new media, and put forward the hope of strengthening cross-strait media cooperation. Li Keqiang smiled and praised his leap from the food industry to the media industry, "which shows your innovation".

"We will seriously consider your suggestion, and we are glad to see that you and the mainland media have already established some cooperation bases," Li Keqiang said.

Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, introduced to the Prime Minister the website’s exploration of using big data and infographics to serve enterprises and individuals. Li Keqiang said: "The development direction of the Internet is not only e-commerce, but also cloud computing, big data and the Internet of Things. Chinese and foreign companies can conduct exchanges, dialogues and cooperation in these fields, and I believe you will have a bigger market in China. "

Jacob, chairman of Qualcomm, told the Prime Minister in his speech that the company has carried out extensive and in-depth cooperation with China enterprises in mobile Internet, semiconductors and Internet equipment.

"I can also help you add an example: you have also given strong support to the development of CDMA in China." Li Keqiang said, "The opportunities facing Qualcomm in China far outweigh the challenges. Even if there are challenges, I believe there will be solutions soon."

Internet is one of the greatest inventions of mankind!

During the exchange, Li Keqiang felt that when China accessed the Internet 20 years ago, I’m afraid no one thought that the Internet would have such a profound impact on China’s economic and social development and people’s lives today.

He said that at present, there are 700 million netizens in China, 600 million people surf the Internet through mobile phones and other mobile terminals, and more and more people are involved in the construction of the Internet, which has brought a huge consumer market, and also provided many opportunities for starting businesses and innovative platforms. "More importantly, the Internet has fulfilled the dream of many young people to develop their careers, allowing them to enjoy life while working online, while creating wealth and realizing the value of life."

Li Keqiang said that the Internet is not only a tool for work and study, but also a way of life. Many people’s thinking habits have changed because of the Internet.

"There are many words on the Internet that we have never used before, such as praise, giving strength and group buying …" Premier said.

He stressed: "The Internet is one of the greatest inventions of mankind!"

Relying on the emerging format of Internet economy will cultivate a new "engine" for China’s economic development.

At the meeting, Li Keqiang also talked about the scene of visiting the "first village of online shop" in Yiwu, Zhejiang Province the day before.

"When I talked with several online shop owners yesterday, I found that they not only sell goods, but also make new designs for customers and provide diversified services. For them, opening an online shop is not only a way of making a living, but also a way of life, and this way of life is becoming a new trend of life. China is entering such a new era. " He said.

Li Keqiang introduced to the participants that since the beginning of this year, the employment rate in China has increased instead of falling in the case of slowing economic growth. The important reason is that the government has carried out its own reforms and introduced a series of measures such as the reform of the commercial system to simplify administration and decentralize power, which has triggered the spurt growth of small and micro enterprises and self-employed households. Most of these enterprises and merchants rely on the Internet to carry out their business.

He emphasized that the government’s strong support for e-commerce gave birth to the emergence of e-commerce in China. At present, the development of e-commerce in China needs financial support, more tax convenience, and may also conflict with traditional industries. However, in order to increase employment and people’s income, the government will unswervingly support the development of e-commerce, cross-border electronic commerce, cloud computing, big data and Internet of Things.

"It can be said that relying on the emerging formats generated by the Internet economy has formed a strong support for mass entrepreneurship and innovation." Li Keqiang said, "There are 1.3 billion China people and 800 million to 900 million laborers. If more and more of them rely on the new business development, they will cultivate a new’ engine’ for China’s economic development, which will certainly have a profound impact on social development and people’s progress."

Vitality and order are the "two wings" of the Internet, and trust and security are the guarantee for the development of the Internet.

Li Keqiang said that every time I communicate with Internet practitioners and ask them what they want from the government, everyone’s answers are the same: First, I hope to strengthen the construction of information infrastructure, but I hope to formulate more rules to ensure fair competition.

"It can be said that vitality and order are the’ two wings’ of the Internet. Without vitality, the internet will have no vitality and charm; Without order, the Internet will have no security and trust. " The Prime Minister said, "I saw a big slogan in the trading hall of Yiwu International Trade City this morning: Honesty is the life of the commodity market. I want to borrow their words, integrity is the life of e-commerce, and trust and security are the guarantee for the development of the Internet. "

Li Keqiang promised that the China Municipal Government is willing to work with all parties to safeguard network security, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Internet enterprise users, and crack down on violations of intellectual property rights, online fraud, infringement of personal privacy and other illegal acts.

"The theme of this Internet conference highlights sharing and governance, which I think is very meaningful." He said, "The Internet is open, it should be transparent, and it should be safe. This requires that every country participating in the Internet can build a common agreement on an equal footing, so that our game has rules and competition can be fair. "

The atmosphere at the venue was warm, and the meeting was overtime for one hour.

Because of the warm atmosphere of discussion and exchange, the scheduled end time of the meeting was repeatedly delayed, and the whole discussion was fully extended by one hour.

When listening to the delegates’ speeches, Li Keqiang praised the delegates for putting forward many valuable suggestions, which "also inspired me a lot". "I really want to listen to the speeches of several participants and listen to your insights." He said, "However, we are in the Internet age, and time is particularly precious. Now the meeting has been overtime. Our speech session can only stop here. "

At the end of the meeting, Li Keqiang encouraged the participants with the famous "qiantang bore".

"The development of the Internet, like the qiantang bore, is a major trend of human economic and social development." He said, "I hope you will continue to stand at the forefront and become the trendsetter and leader of the Internet trend!" (Xiao Nan)
