China planning to build a “civilised” internet, here’s how

China will strengthen its efforts to build a “civilised” internet with an eye on reshaping online behaviour and use it as a platform to disseminate new party theories and promote socialist values, the country’s cyberspace regulator said.
The head of Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) Zhuang Rongwen said such efforts were crucial to build a “modern socialist country”, given that China had over 1 billion netizens and was the world’s largest digital society, according to an article published on the front page of the Study Times newspaper on Wednesday.
The Study Times is published by the Central Party School, which trains rising officials in the ruling Communist Party. The CAC reposted the article on its official WeChat account.
