Main Opnions

How to deal with the challenge of 5g security? According to Xue, risk management measures for emerging technologies include four aspects: formulating national strategic rules, building digital infrastructure, enhancing international mutual trust and establishing a linkage protection system.

He suggested that we should improve the rules of data governance, establish data sharing mechanism, public data pool and data center to promote industrial development and social welfare.

He suggested that we should improve the governance rules of cross-border data security, establish a clear corporate responsibility system with clear legal boundaries, and establish a cross-border security mutual trust mechanism based on this.

Controversy

Xue Lan said that perhaps one day the concept of international students disappeared, and then China's development would be truly modernized. He said that one of the ways of "studying abroad" was irreplaceable, that was, international competence, which refered to the ability to effectively study, work and get along with others in an international multi-cultural environment. This was necessary in an international environment. After living and studying abroad for a period of time, there would indeed be different degrees of improvement and different perspectives of consideration.
