China is stepping up to the digital plate! 🙌 Over the weekend, at the United Nations headquarters in New York, the Summit of the Future saw the adoption of the Global Digital Compact (GDC) as part of the Pact for the Future. This means big moves towards bridging the world's digital divides. 🌍💻
\n\\"China welcomes the adoption of the GDC at the UN,\\" celebrated Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian on Monday. 🇨🇳
\nThe GDC aims to create \\"an open, free, secure and human-centered digital future for all,\\" aligning with universal human rights and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It sets out five cool objectives: closing digital divides, boosting inclusivity in the digital economy, fostering a safe and open digital space, promoting fair digital governance, and enhancing AI governance for humanity's benefit. 🤖✨
\nLin Jian highlighted, \\"The compact follows the global trend of promoting digital development and cooperation. It reflects the urgent call from all countries, especially those in the Global South, to close the digital gap and tackle governance challenges. It's about building an inclusive, open, fair, and secure digital space together!\\" 🌐🤝
\nChina has been proactive in this digital journey. With initiatives like the Global Initiative on Data Security and the Global AI Governance Initiative, they're all in on improving global digital governance. The measures in the GDC align perfectly with these initiatives. 🚀
\nLooking ahead, Lin Jian emphasized, \\"China will, as always, uphold the principle of planning together, building together, and benefiting together. We're ready to team up with the international community to promote global digital governance, implement the GDC, and build a community with a shared future in the digital world.\\" Let's get digital! 🎉
