China to force internet users to register real names

[WestVirginiaRebel]

UK Telegraph:

China is considering measures to force all its 400m internet users to register their real names before making comments on the country's myriad chat-rooms and discussion forums, in a further sign of tightening controls on freedom of speech.

The move comes less than a week after China announced a hardening of its State Secrets law, requiring internet and mobile phone operators to inform on their customers and co-operate with police demands for information on users.

Plans to make all online users register have been debated for years in China, but senior officials have confirmed that the government is now actively investigating how to implement a system of real-name registration.

"We are also exploring an identity authentication system for users of online bulletin board systems," said Wang Chen, the vice-head of the ruling Communist Party's propaganda department in a speech to China's top legislature reported by the state-run China Daily newspaper.

Chinese online users are already banned from making anonymous comments on online news portals, but they are allowed to use "net-names" which obscure their real identity.

In a country where print and television media is tightly controlled, the discussion platforms are one of the few vibrant places of debate where citizens air grievances and are frequently critical of the government.

China's outdated bureaucracy versus the online generation.

Some experts are predicting that China's economy is set to collapse in the next 9 to 12 months. They may be looking ahead.

 

Oh yeah, look forward to problems here if this turns out to be an accurate prediction......China may have to start selling off some of our debt at a discount in order to resore order.

Did you say Pepper on a roll?

 

[clearvision]

Or did you mean Pepper Bun....

 

 

Pepper bun (胡椒餅)

 

Pepper bun is a Chinese traditional snack from Fuzhou, then import to Taiwan. This Chinese snack becomes one of the traditional snacks in Taiwan. The reason that it calls “pepper” bun is because the pork fillings are marinade with black pepper for a long time.
