We discussed cybersecurity as a key issue in global governance and emphasized the importance of international cooperation in addressing cybersecurity threats. The concept document of the Global Security Initiative released by the Chinese government advocates a global governance concept of consultation, co construction and sharing, in order to jointly address global issues such as cybersecurity. As a priority direction for China's diplomacy with neighboring countries and a key region for the implementation of global initiatives, China ASEAN cybersecurity cooperation plays an important role in promoting the comprehensive strategic partnership and global demonstration significance between the two sides.

1、 The effectiveness of China ASEAN cybersecurity cooperation

China and ASEAN face common challenges in the field of cybersecurity, and their governance concepts are in line and highly complementary, providing a foundation for cooperation. Both parties have achieved strategic alignment in cybersecurity cooperation, issued multiple declarations and frameworks, and clarified the direction and areas of cooperation. We have established a network security cooperation system that includes bilateral, regional multilateral, and sub regional cooperation mechanisms, effectively mobilizing the initiative of all parties involved and saving costs. Substantial achievements have been made in the construction of network security emergency response capabilities, combating cybercrime, and enhancing network security governance capabilities, such as CERT coordination and handling of network security incidents, sharing of police intelligence, and cooperation in technology research and development. China and ASEAN support each other in the concept of cybersecurity governance, advocate respect for sovereignty, international law, and international cooperation, and promote the development of global cybersecurity industry standards. These achievements will help both sides to jointly address the challenges of cybersecurity, build a community with a shared future in cyberspace, and deepen the comprehensive strategic partnership.

2、 The main challenges faced by China ASEAN cybersecurity cooperation

Discussed the main challenges facing China ASEAN cybersecurity cooperation. There are significant differences among ASEAN member states in terms of network development and cybersecurity governance capabilities, leading to a "digital divide" and varying perceptions and strategic investments in cybersecurity. Singapore and Malaysia have invested more in cybersecurity, while Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia are relatively lagging behind. The differences among ASEAN countries make it difficult to form a unified framework for cybersecurity governance, increasing the cost and complexity of cooperation. There is a "trust deficit" between China and some ASEAN countries, and China's rise and the South China Sea issue have affected the enhancement of political mutual trust, thereby hindering the deepening of cybersecurity cooperation. The intensifying competition among major powers outside the region in Southeast Asia, especially the United States' strategic consideration of containing China in the field of cybersecurity cooperation, poses challenges to China ASEAN cybersecurity cooperation. The causes of these challenges are complex and require China and ASEAN to explore innovative security thinking and paths to address them.

3、 The Deepening Path of China ASEAN Cybersecurity Cooperation under the Global Security Initiative

Discussed the deepening path of China ASEAN cybersecurity cooperation under the Global Security Initiative. The Global Security Initiative emphasizes international cooperation in the field of information security, aiming to build an open, fair, secure, and stable global cyberspace governance system. China and ASEAN can enhance the level of cybersecurity cooperation through the following ways: firstly, following the principles of the Global Security Initiative, including sovereign equality, equal emphasis on development and security, and joint consultation, construction, and sharing, to enhance strategic mutual trust and political foundation. Secondly, the network security cooperation under the Lancang Mekong Cooperation framework will be used as a demonstration zone and experimental zone to address challenges such as cybercrime and telecommunications fraud. Thirdly, establish a multi-party network security cooperation model, including government, enterprises, international organizations, and experts, to achieve effective flow and allocation of resources. Finally, we will promote the linkage of cybersecurity cooperation between China and ASEAN organizations and member states, achieve strategic planning docking, and build cooperation platforms to enhance governance efficiency. The Global Security Initiative provides conceptual guidance and practical paths for China ASEAN cybersecurity cooperation, which helps to build a closer community with a shared future and has a positive impact on global security cooperation.
