Chinese leader Xi Jinping said Wednesday that “freedom and order are both necessary in cyberspace,” even as the country notorious for its widespread censorship has put a free-speech advocate on trial for a series of online posts. “We should respect Internet users’ rights to exchange ideas and express their minds and we should also build good order in cyberspace in accordance with [the] law as it will help protect the legitimate rights and interests of all Internet users,” he said at an Internet conference in Beijing. Civil-rights lawyer Pu Zhiqiang, meanwhile, faces eight years in prison for seven critical postings on Weibo, China’s version of Twitter.
