China responded saying it was open to such talks. “China is willing, on the basis of the principles of mutual respect and mutual trust, to have constructive dialogue and cooperation on this issue with the international community including the United States to maintain the security, openness and peace of the Internet,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chuying said.
