【英语科技】互联网协会官员：互联网安全第一

The priorities for the Internet begin and end with security, a top government adviser said Thursday.

Gao Xinmin, standing vice chairman at Internet Society of China, spoke at Shanghai's China Digital Media Summit, offering a few ideas for the future of the fast-expanding Chinese web.

'The Internet is a very important media. But Internet is more than media,' said Gao. 'It's a new infrastructure, it's a new social infrastructure.'

The society says on its website that it aims to 'promote healthy development of Internet in China and make it an active part of World Internet Community.' The Internet's primary regulator is the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

As Chinese Internet companies move to close the gap with their international counterparts, a number of factors are important, said Gao.

First, he said, without elaborating, 'The Internet must be safe and credible.'

It must be 'omnipresent' and 'always on,' with information available on a real-time basis, Gao said. The State Council has announced a 12-city pilot project meant to combine TV, cable and Internet service, he added.

In China, Gao said companies need to work on 'crossover opportunities,' and cited Apple Inc. (AAPL) as a prime example of a U.S. company that competes in various technology spaces. 'They are a manufacturer, but their success should be based on the Internet platform success,' Gao said. (He didn't specifically cite Apple's iTunes--perhaps a good thing, because while Apple can open stores in China, it so far isn't permitted to run its popular media sales platform here.)

Likewise, Google Inc. (GOOG) is moving in the direction of wireless services, said Gao, adding that such convergence hasn't been successfully demonstrated in China. He did applaud efforts by some Chinese companies to build platforms, or 'ecosystems,' in the 'cloud,' like Alibaba and Tencent.

But he expressed concern about estimates that China would see about 800 million malignant software and emails this year. 'Everything I talked about must be backed by security...we see more and more issues and challenges,' he said.

一位中国政府高级顾问周四说，互联网首先要考虑的应该是安全问题。

中国互联网协会副理事长高新民在上海中国数字媒体峰会上发言，对快速扩张的中国互联网的未来提出了几点看法。

Associated Press中国互联网协会副理事长高新民说，首先，互联网必须是安全可信的。高新民说，互联网是很重要的媒体，但互联网不仅仅是媒体，而是一种新的基础设施，是一种新的社会基础设施。

中国互联网协会在其网站上说，它旨在“促进互联网的发展和普及应用”、“在国际互联网事务中发挥积极作用”。监管互联网的主要机构是工业和信息化部。

高新民说，随着中国互联网公司努力缩小与国际企业的差距，有几个因素很重要。

他说，首先，互联网必须是安全可信的。他没有具体说明。

高新民说，它必须是“泛在的”，时刻工作的，信息应该是可以实时获取的。他还说，国务院公布了一项在12个城市进行的将电视、有线和互联网服务融合起来的试点计划。

高新民说，在中国，企业需要寻找“跨界”机会，并将苹果公司(Apple Inc.)作为一家在各种技术领域进行竞争的美国企业的典范。他说，它们是制造商，不过它们的成功应该是基于互联网平台的成功。（他没有具体说到苹果的iTune，这或许是好事，因为尽管苹果可以在中国开设门店，目前为止却不可以在中国运营颇受欢迎的媒体销售平台。）

高新民说，同样的，谷歌(Google Inc.)开始朝着无线服务领域发展。他还说，这样的融合在中国尚没有成功的例子。他赞扬了一些中资企业构建“云”平台或生态环境的努力，比如阿里巴巴和腾讯。

不过，他也表达了对中国今年估计将出现约8亿恶意软件和电子邮件的担忧。他说，我所说的一切都必须由安全作为支持，我们看到越来越多的问题和挑战。
