Cyberspace sovereignty 'should be respected'

Global governance would make Internet peaceful, secure and open, president says

President Xi Jinping called for respect of all countries' cyberspace sovereignty on Wednesday, telling the Brazilian congress that "there are no double standards in the information sector, and every country has the right to preserve its own information security".

Xi's remarks were made amid continuing revelations about extensive spying by the United States on other countries, including China, Brazil and Russia, and even some US allies.
