GONG XIANGHE Executive Dean, Institute for Human Rights, Southeast University "On the one hand, it is necessary to propose and recognize digital human rights that embody constitutional values in accordance with the principle of 'putting people first'. On the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen the legislation on digital human rights, legal amendments and legal interpretations, so as to guarantee the realization of digital human rights."
