Cyber sovereignty is the idea that states should be permitted to manage and contain their own internet without external interference. China’s Communist Party has tightened cyber regulation in the past year, formalizing new rules that require firms to store data locally and censor tools that allow users to subvert the Great Firewall. In June, China introduced a new national cybersecurity law that requires foreign firms to store data locally and submit to data surveillance measures."</div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv8737957221yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1512364547502_26020" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:30px;margin-left:83.5313px;border:0px;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:1.5;font-family:freight-book, serif;font-size:20px;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(49, 49, 50);">"China has advocated strongly for a larger role in global internet governance under Xi. “China stands ready to develop new rules and systems of internet governance to serve all parties and counteract current imbalances,” said Wang Huning, a member of the Communist Party standing committee at the event on Sunday."<br clear="none" id="yiv8737957221yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1512364547502_26474"></div><div dir="ltr" id="yiv8737957221yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1512364547502_26020" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:30px;margin-left:83.5313px;border:0px;font-stretch:inherit;line-height:1.5;font-family:freight-book, serif;font-size:20px;vertical-align:baseline;color:rgb(49, 49, 50);"><span id="yiv8737957221yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1512364547502_26584" style="font-size:xx-large;">A nation on a bold mission that is boldly declares!
