The 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit, under the theme "Open Source and Openness, Joint Contribution and Shared Benefits – Jointly Building a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace," will take place from Monday to Thursday in Wuzhen, east China's Zhejiang Province.

Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed the vision of building a community with a shared future in cyberspace during his address at the opening ceremony of the second World Internet Conference in 2015.

For over a decade, Xi has championed this vision on multiple occasions, urging the international community to work together so that the internet can better serve people of all countries, a mission rendered even more urgent by the new wave of development in artificial intelligence (AI).

Here are some of his key quotes on the topic.
