73 Cyber Culture and Cyberspace Soft Power from the Perspective of
International Security

LIU Xinghua and LI Bing
[Abstract] Cyber culture, far beyond a pure cultural issue and cultural phenomenon,
has extensive intrinsic correlation with security. In the era when cyberspace itself is
globalized, it is necessary to reexamine cyber culture in terms of its international
security implications. An ideal cyber culture runs as a self-maintained system
supporting self-functioning, self-purification and self-fulfillment. It is equipped with
three functions correlated with security, namely transmission function (ensuring the
smooth and secure flow of information culture through information technology
capabilities), rectification function (rectifying erroneous information and transgression)
and cultivation function (shaping concepts, behavioral and organizational patterns).
These three functions correspond respectively to three types of national soft power.
The first is a form of cyberspace soft power based on information transmission and
cultural content, referring specifically to the power of information dissemination and
the appeal of cyber cultural products. The second is a form of cyberspace soft power
on the basis of diplomatic persuasion and the quality of diplomacy, which means the
capacity of employing traditional diplomacy and public diplomacy to rectify
hazardous information and transgressive behaviors. The third is a form of cyberspace
soft power based on national interests and international morality, referring to the
capabilities of constructing national culture, national image and international
prestige. As a significant component of the comprehensive national strength of a
nation in the digital age cyberspace soft power will become one of the focal areas for
national strength competition in the near future.

Connotation and New Trend
XU Shanpin and WANG Shucheng
[Abstract] In order to maintain a safe and stable cyber space, safeguard national
cyber security and maximize the digital economic benefits, Australia is committed to
building a new pattern of cyber security governance with regard to the relations
between the public and the private sectors, which features “co-leadership”, “shared

security strategy is witnessing a transition. The Turnbull government has made a
