Officials from China, Germany call for partnership in cybersecurity

China and Germany can still cooperate further to tackle cybersecurity and other challenges posed by new media, according to media officials and leaders from the two countries attending the fourth China-Germany Media Dialogue on Tuesday.

At the opening ceremony, Cai Mingzhao, minister of the State Council Information Office, said China and Germany should enhance the cooperation in media technologies and apply new Internet technologies to empower media influence and promote cybersecurity.

Cai said Chinese media has developed considerably since the reform and opening-up, as traditional media have been strengthened and new media has developed at a fast pace.
