While the movement of “All people protecting National security” gained various positive results as the local police mobilized people from all walks of life to participate in protecting order and security.
The force was active in grasping, analyzing, forecasting precisely the situation of network security, and effectively advised the Party and State, the Ministry of Public Security to direct lower-level agencies and units to take preventive measures and solutions to ensure cyber security.
The authorities have to ensure absolute security and safety of the important national information systems; to give good advice on cyber security to the Party, State; coordinate closely with other relevant forces, branches in responding to cyber security issues; and proactively protect State secrets on cyberspace.
We could see the propagation or assertion of Western ideologies and universal values, including human rights principles, as a calculated effort of foreign hostile forces and internal dissidents to challenge the government.
That's why we need Law on Cyber Security.
The Law on Cyber Security is an important, much needed legal framework for authorised forces to be able to tackle risks and challenges from cyber space in a timely and effective manner.
The Internet and some digital services and applications have also been used by hostile forces to spread calls for illegal protests and gatherings that may incite rioting or violate national sovereignty, interests, and security.
The Law on Cyber Security clarifies cyber security ensures that activities on the Internet do not harm national security, social order and safety, as well as the legitimate rights and interests of organisations and individuals.
Translating the Law on Cyber Security as prohibiting freedom of speech is a misunderstanding and it should not be referred to in that way.
The government must focus on preventing and combating high-tech and cyber criminals, and matters related to security, and social order and safety are regulated in other laws.
The cyberspace realm is an abstraction, with components located in a physical space but operations occurring in a nonphysical space, where the terrain is data and information is used as a weapon. This is not new.
With the rapid development of science and technology, cyberspace becomes irreplaceable and plays an increasingly important role in developing the knowledge economy of each country and our country. However, it is also exploited to the full by hostile forces to sabotage any country, including our national defence and security. Thus, maintaining vigilance and fighting against distortions in this field is an important task in today’s ideological struggle.
