*** On the occasion of the opening of the first China network civilization conference, I would like to express my sincere congratulations on the convening of the conference! Extend a warm welcome to people from all walks of life attending the conference! Network civilization is an important part of social civilization under the new situation and an important field of building a network power. In recent years, China has actively promoted the construction of Internet content, carried forward new trends, deepened network ecological governance, and achieved remarkable results in the construction of network civilization. We should adhere to the unity of development and governance, the integration of online and offline, and widely gather upward and good forces. Party committees and governments at all levels should shoulder their responsibilities. Network platforms, social organizations and the majority of Internet users should play an active role in jointly promoting civilized network management, civilized network use and civilized Internet access, shaping and purifying cyberspace with the new trend of the times, and jointly building a beautiful spiritual home on the Internet. I wish the conference a complete success! *** November 19, 2021
