Premier Li Qiang of the State Council attended the opening ceremony of the 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit in Wuzhen, Zhejiang, and delivered a keynote speech. Premier Li stated that the initiative to build a community with a shared future in cyberspace is intended to ensure that internet-related technologies enhance human capabilities, expand human choices, highlight human value, and improve human well-being—rather than turning people into appendages of technology, and certainly not allowing technology to exacerbate disparities in human development. To this end, three issues deserve particular attention. First, the debate over the relationship between humans and machines: the primacy of humanity must be upheld so that machines become trustworthy tools for humankind. Second, ethical reflection on algorithmic models: the pursuit of progress and goodness must be maintained, using the common values of all humanity to solidify the foundation for the development of new technologies. Third, security concerns regarding the integration of the digital and real economies.
