In the speech, General Secretary Jiang Zemin pointed out: "Leaders at all levels and in all departments must urgently learn about networking knowledge and pay great attention to the issue of online struggles. Our party building work, ideological and political work, organizational work, publicity work, and mass work should all adapt to the characteristics of information networking, otherwise it will be difficult to do well." The Ministry of Information Industry organized renowned experts in China's information industry, such as Yang Fuching and Wu Hequan, to compile this knowledge reader for leaders at all levels and in all departments to study. The main content of the reader includes: (1) Basic concepts of information networking; (2) The technical, economic, and social foundations of information networking; (3) The role and challenges of information networking; (4) Economic information networking; (5) Social information networking; (6) Information security. Guided by the principle of "Actively develop, strengthen management, seek benefits while avoiding harm, make full use of it, and strive to take the initiative in the global development of information networking," the book discusses how the rapid development of information networking has provided China with a rare historical opportunity. It argues that it is necessary to actively and proactively utilize information technology and network technology, adapt to the trend, and develop actively. At the same time, it fully considers China's current situation, where industrial modernization has not yet been achieved, the agricultural foundation is still weak, and the tertiary industry is in a primary stage. It advocates formulating reasonable development policies based on reality, adhering to practicality, and taking a development path with Chinese characteristics.
