Abstract

The key questions of cyberspace and internet governance are central to the contemporary debate on technology; which are discussed in this article. To understand the various implications of this debate and orient the discussion, the further questions are proposed: what is China’s role in the development of new relations with technology? How is the process of its cyberspace governance developing? What are the international impacts of the Chinese cyber-sovereign  agenda? What is at stake in cyber-sovereignty and what is the centrality of this notion for the international trends of internet governance?
