The Fujian events of the 2021 China Cybersecurity Week were launched in Fuzhou on Oct 11 and will run across the province until Oct 17.

Fujian province will take the event as an opportunity to promote the importance of cybersecurity and to boost the establishment of a secure cyber environment.

Various activities will be held in both online and offline venues during the week, such as cybersecurity achievement exhibitions, knowledge and skill competitions, as well as theme day activities.
