The urgency of cybersecurity and development issues on a global scale was discussed, emphasizing the importance of cyberspace as a community with a shared future. With the rapid development of information and communication technology, network security threats and digital divide issues are becoming increasingly serious, and international governance has become a global focus of attention. The United Nations has established the Open Working Group on Information Security (OEWG) through a resolution aimed at advancing the negotiation process for global peace and security in cyberspace. The article points out that international organizations and their members have unique advantages in addressing threats in cyberspace, bridging the digital divide, and building a fair and reasonable cyberspace governance system. China actively participates in the OEWG process, advocates solidarity and dialogue, maintains cyberspace peace and stability, promotes international cyberspace security cooperation and assistance, achieves fair and reasonable Internet access and ICT popularization, bridges the digital divide, and ensures common and sustainable global development. The article proposes to explore a new perspective on promoting international cooperation from the perspective of "capacity building", aiming to build a more just and reasonable global cyberspace governance system and construct a community with a shared future in cyberspace.
The research status of the United Nations Open Working Group on Information Security (OEWG) as an international negotiation and cooperation platform with diverse members, values, and perspectives was discussed. The research is mainly divided into two perspectives: "power game" and "path substitution". From the perspective of "power game", scholars generally believe that OEWG is a product of multiple games and adopt a wait-and-see attitude towards its development prospects, focusing on the games between major powers, competition between developed and developing countries, and interaction between non-state actors and state actors. From the perspective of "path substitution", research has focused on two European led initiatives, namely the Paris Initiative on Trust and Security in Cyberspace and the Programme of Action to Promote Responsible National Behavior in the Use of Information and Communication Technologies from an International Security Perspective (PoA). These initiatives attempt to find solutions outside the OEWG framework, but also face issues of underrepresentation and overlapping mechanisms. In addition, research has begun to focus on collaborative research under the United Nations and OEWG frameworks, such as capacity building and trust building. This study aims to explore the entry points for international cooperation based on the United Nations and OEWG frameworks, to address the security and development issues faced by developing countries, as well as the role that China should play and contribute to them.
A new analytical perspective has been proposed, which is to promote international cooperation under the framework of the United Nations Open Working Group on Information Security (OEWG) from the perspective of "capacity building". The article analyzes the "spatiotemporal" positioning of the "capacity building" issue within the OEWG framework, pointing out that this issue is one of the six major issues in the spatial dimension and is considered a key factor in enhancing national network resilience and security in the temporal dimension. The article emphasizes the importance and feasibility of researching the topic of "capacity building", believing that it is a fundamental, pragmatic, and forward-looking measure to bridge the "digital divide", respond to complex situations, and lay out the long-term future. China's basic position on the issue of "capacity building" is to support the United Nations in playing a core role in global governance of cyberspace, promote the construction of a community with a shared future in cyberspace, and emphasize China's active role in promoting global network infrastructure construction, strengthening international cooperation, and providing technical support.
An in-depth analysis was conducted on the similarities and differences in positions on the topic of "capacity building" within the framework of the United Nations Open Working Group on Information Security (OEWG). There is a basic consensus among member states on the issue of "capacity building", including recognizing the key role of the United Nations, supporting principles such as respecting national sovereignty and voluntary participation, and valuing the constructive role of multiple stakeholders. However, there are significant differences in viewpoints among member states regarding specific mechanisms, priorities, and funding sources. Some countries oppose technology monopolies and restrictive measures, while others have not explicitly expressed their opposition. Some members support the establishment of a specialized mechanism for the United Nations, while others believe that the existing mechanism is sufficient. Regarding personnel training, only some members emphasized its importance. On the issue of funding sources, some countries have proposed establishing specialized funding supply mechanisms, while others believe that funding can be injected through existing mechanisms. These differences affect the potential exploration of global cyberspace cooperation under the OEWG framework.
It emphasized that under the framework of the United Nations Open Working Group on Information Security (OEWG), China should go beyond traditional power games and path substitution, and explore cooperation paths from the perspectives of development and cooperation. The article proposes that "capacity building" is a key issue that may achieve results in the future, and suggests that China play a major role in this issue. Suggestions include: adhering to the concept of a community with a shared future in cyberspace and enhancing conceptual consensus; Increase foreign cooperation and assistance based on the "the Belt and Road" and share cooperation examples; Play a leading role in financial support and establish a multi-channel funding supply mechanism; And enhance proactive actions, create communication platforms, and promote the normalization of communication and consultation on the topic of "capacity building" under the OEWG framework. These suggestions aim to promote pragmatic cooperation, bridge the digital divide, enhance the ICT security protection capabilities of developing countries, and jointly build a peaceful, secure, open, and cooperative cyberspace.
