Taking the cooperation between China and Pakistan as an example, this paper expounds on the current situation, governance concept, obstacles to cooperation, and differentiated policies of Western countries in the areas of cybersecurity, the role of new e-commerce platforms, and digital sovereignty of BRICS countries. It aims to promote inter-governmental cooperation through civil dialogue and lead information technology cooperation among developing countries through the BRICS mechanism, as well as to collaborate to establish guidelines for global cybersecurity, new e-commerce platforms, and digital sovereignty.
