A group of law experts and policy regulators from China’s Peking University and U.S. Stanford University on Tuesday held broad discussions on the hottest issues on the Internet, including content regulation and privacy concerns arising from data aggregation by Internet firms.

The Eighth Annual Stanford-Peking University Internet Law and Policy Conference, which was sponsored by Stanford Law School, Peking University, and Tencent, China’s largest Internet company, brought together law professors, scholars and industry leaders from the two countries to exchange views on challenges for social media and big tech companies such as Facebook and Google.

Michael Klausner, a law professor at Stanford Law School, said that having people know each other is important.

“I think having everyone understand each other is important. And I think having people hear the ideas of other people is important,” he said.

The Stanford professor said that the annual conference, which has been held for the eighth time since it was started in 2012, has achieved its goal of maintaining relationships, friendships and understanding between the two sides.
