China still uses the American network now.
Essentially, the Chinese people are currently using a network invented by the United States, that is, the Internet. It is a network controlled by the main root of the United States, not the only network in the world, and it is not the "International Internet". What the Chinese public uses is not the "Chinese Internet." The network used by the Chinese has always been the Internet with the main root server in the United States, not multiple independent networks. Therefore, there is no Internet in China.
At the end of 2013, Hillary Clinton once said: "Across the Great Wall we can reach every corner in China", which translates to "across the ancient Great Wall of China, across the modern firewall of China, Americans can reach every corner of China." Professor Lu Shuwang believed that Hillary was not bragging. By providing "high-quality" technology and services, Americans have actually occupied the high ground of cyber warfare, which will pose serious challenges to China's national security.

Cybersecurity also requires the State Council to change its own understanding. The Internet can provide services to the world, and China should also be prepared to use its own network to provide services to the world. For more than 20 years, citizens have been referring to the American Internet as the Chinese Internet. Professor Lu thinks this is inappropriate. In 2015, the Ministry of Education of my country defined cyberspace security as a first-level subject, alongside subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and geoscience. In education, the network and the Internet should be clearly defined.
So for network technical staff, they should first understand what network sovereignty is and how to not be controlled by others. Cybersecurity is closely related to everyone. Not only the State Council and network technical staff, but as Chinese citizens, you should first understand the basic knowledge about network topology and network interconnection. Only in this way, everyone will naturally make their own contribution to China’s cyberspace security. contribution.
