Watch live: Why China is hacking the world

Join Passcode and the Mary Baker Eddy Library Thursday, Feb. 4, at 7 p.m. for a deeper look at China's cybersecurity playbook. 

  • By Staff

Cybersecurity from China’s Perspective will be streamed live from this page on Thursday, Feb. 4, at 7 p.m. Please check back on the day of the event for the feed or join us in person by registering here.

With accusations of digital espionage and commercial hacking flying, Washington and Beijing met this past September to discuss potential solutions. The world's premiere cyberpowers reached an agreement — though some experts were quick to point out several shortcomings.

There is little reason to think that cyberthreats in 2016 will be any less numerous. Will Beijing really be able to hold up its end of the deal? Can China rein in its hackers? Will China and the West forge rules of engagement in the Digital Age?

Join Passcode and The Mary Baker Eddy Library for a discussion that will address these questions and shed light on the status of cyber-relations between the US and China.

This event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:00 pm for networking and a special presentation inside the museum's Mapparium. Register here.

Panel:

Adam Segal, @adschina, Director, Digital and Cyberspace Policy Program, the Council on Foreign Relations

Michael Sulmeyer, @sultanofcyber, Director, Cyber Security Project, Belfer Center, Harvard Kennedy School

Sharon Hom, @hrichina, Executive Director, Human Rights in China

Lobsang Gyatso Sither, @tibetaction, Digital Security Programs Manager, Tibet Action Institute

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
