World Internet development report 2017: translated by Peng Ping

摘要

That the Internet has caused the third biggest revolution in recent civilization is not unknown. However, what's of importance is the fact that different nations of the world have progressed differently and that many are still catching up. This 2017 report from the Chinese Academy of Cyberspace Studies is an intense look at the development of the Internet and its usage, governance, security, and other aspects. Translated from the original Chinese, this book is quite comprehensive in its coverage of the aforementioned facets of our Internet. Needless to say, due to this translation process, numerous typographical errors have crept into this otherwise quite detailed coverage of the topic areas. As the Chinese Academy is a government-funded organization, the Chinese government's views and advances with regard to the development of cyberspace governance are quite evident.
