360/OPEN SUMMIT: THE WORLD IN MOTION - CHINESE TECH IN THE WORLD - China has presented an alternative to universal rights in the form of an ideology pairing economic access and integration with centralized political control. The Chinese Communist Party uses technology to facilitate this political authoritarianism at home while exporting much abroad. For those seeking to ensure that human rights extend to the digital world, it is essential to examine the limits and impacts of this Chinese approach in nations grappling with threats to their democracy. This panel will explore the CCP strategy, what it means for private Chinese companies selling overseas, the reality and impact for governments and civil society in those countries, and what it means for the global debate over the Internet and digital technologies.
