China: On cybersecurity, U.S. must not rock the boat

The head of China's office of Cyberspace Administration likened the U.S. and China to two men in a boat during a storm.

In an ancient Chinese legend, the men realized that only by ceasing to quarrel and instead working together were they able to stabilize the craft and land safely on dry land, said Lu Wei, director of the Central Leading Group for Internet Security and Informatization, China's top cyber policy making body

"In today's world, the boat of the Internet carries more than two men, it carries more than the United States and China," Lu said. "It carries several billion people."
