The World Internet Conference (WIC) hosted the "Journey into the China Unicom Global · WIC Member Day" event in Hong Kong on April 15. Over 30 representatives from embassies in China, government department, industry associations, enterprises, universities and media outlets participated in on-site visits to explore innovative practices in digital technology-driven international cyberspace cooperation.

Ren Xianliang, Secretary-General of the WIC, emphasized in his address that digital technologies, represented by artificial intelligence, are evolving rapidly, profoundly transforming human production and lifestyles while also bringing new challenges to global cyberspace governance. Ren highlighted the WIC's ongoing efforts to compile and showcase the Practice Cases of Jointly Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace (Practice Cases), which pool global wisdom and promote practical solutions to seize digital opportunities and address challenges. He noted that the WIC will strengthen its role as a global Internet platform for extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, carrying out more diverse projects with all stakeholders to advance AI-digital integration, share dividends, address security challenges, and foster collaborative development.

China Unicom Global was recognized in both 2023 and 2024 for its Practice Cases entries, including "Computing and Network Convergence Connecting the World—Empower the Innovative Development of the Global Digital Economy" and "Pioneering Technology, Linking the World: Big Data and AI’s New Role in Scam Prevention." 

These projects were unveiled at the WIC Wuzhen Summit, where China Unicom Global shared its practices in international cyberspace cooperation with global stakeholders.  

Qiu Tao, Executive Vice President and Chief Network Security Officer of the China Unicom Global, said in his welcome remarks that, in today's booming digital economy, the only way to cope with the complex and changing challenges and jointly create a better future in the digital era is to work together and collaborate in innovation. China Unicom Global is willing to work with all parties to promote global digital transformation and sustainable development, and to Jointly Build a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace.

During the event, attendees toured the submarine and terrestrial cable landing stations, server rooms of the data center, Network/Security Operations Centers (NOC/SOC), and CityUHK-ChinaUnicom Joint Laboratory for Intelligent Scam Prevention, among other facilities.
