Re: China Hires As Many As 300,000 Internet Trolls To Make CCP look go

Where and how does PRC print money. Is there a audit and proper review and documentation done ... large numeric still require appropriation but one can also say larger numeric allow craftiness

No harm in paying someone to make CCP look good. They still require something to be said ... many are intelligent and well thought of communications designed by the CCP foreign office and deserve recognition on the delivery ...

but sometime the delivery can be awkward, imprudent and reckless:





I understand the Generals and leaders of CCP and of PRC made it known they dont want anything to do with him (but acknowledge his service):

Re: China Hires As Many As 300,000 Internet Trolls To Make CCP look go

certainly not.

for example, registration for a weibo accout doesnt require people's real identity. weibo is Chinese equivalent of tweet.

Real names now required for WeChat and other IMS

Users of instant messaging tools, including WeChat, must in future register with their real names and unlicensed public accounts are banned from publishing or forwarding political news, China's top cyber watchdog ordered on Thursday.

The State Internet Information Office listed 10 regulations to tighten management of instant messaging in a bid to clean up the online environment and rein in rumormongers.

Only public accounts operated by news agencies and news websites, some non-journalism institutes with online news and information service licenses, can publish and forward political news. Other public accounts must not publish or forward political news without authorization.

WeChat had 5.8 million public accounts as of last month, bianews.com reported, citing Zeng Ming, a WeChat management official.

Potential users of WeChat will only receive an account after their real identities are verified. Users can still use online nicknames when using instant messaging tools, according to the new rule.

The office stressed that the privacy of users can be protected when registering their real names.

Rules include that providers of instant messaging services shall be responsible for their safe operation, protect users' information and citizens' privacy, be subject to public supervision and handle illegal information in a timely manner.

Meanwhile, regulators will warn violators, limit their rights to release information, suspend renewals or even close their accounts, based on the degree of the violation.

The rule on real name registration, which has been effective since Thursday, has been applauded by Internet users and experts.

Shi Shusi, a popular micro-blogger and WeChat user, praised the real-name registration, saying it is necessary to give true identities when opening a bank account or shopping online.

Li Yuxiao, director of the Institute of Internet Governance and Law under Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, agreed with Shi, but said the real-name system is no cure-all for the online environment.

"We are troubled with some rumors on instant messaging tools, especially on WeChat where most friends believe what they see and the impact of the rumors is sometimes bigger than other platforms, such as micro blogs," Li said.

The real-name system is a must, he added, but cleaning up cyberspace and reducing misinformation also requires government action and self-discipline from users.

According to the new rule, online service providers should ask users to supply real identities if they want online services on mobile phones. The mandate is in line with the Internet information protection regulation made by the top legislature's standing committee.

Previous users who were not required to provide authentic information will be encouraged to join real-name systems, but the watchdog said the specific method for doing so would depend on the application producers and operators.

Guo Kaitian, vice-president of Tencent, welcomed the real-name system. He said his team spends too much time identifying and removing fake information and reports from users.

"Paying and taking taxis via our application will become easier and quicker for users who provide real identities," Guo said. "For those reporting alleged rumors, we'll give a reply and solution within seven days."

It is also hoped the real-name system deters those who spread illegal information on instant messaging tools, as well as the promotion of violence, terrorism and pornography.

Real name registration: Is the last free space on China's Internet disappearing?

On December 28, 2012, the standing committee of China's National People's Congress approved rules requiring websites that host user generated content to verify the real identity of their users. These rules, while not new, may nonetheless lead to the disappearance of the last free space on China's internet by eliminating anonymity, which is vital in a society where freedom of speech does not otherwise exist.

While the new rules include measures regarding the protection of user personal information and limits on unsolicited advertisements sent to user's mobile phones or email addresses, it is the real name registration requirement that has attracted the most attention. This is largely due to the dramatic rise of Sina's Weibo, a Twitter-like service that has grown to over 400 million registered users since its launch in August 2009.

Weibo, and competitors like Tencent's Weixin, have challenged China's ubiquitous censors due to the massive amounts of posts (100 million per day for Weibo) and the speed with which information travels through reposts and comments. Although the censors use key word filtering systems to block posts that transgress the constantly revised list of off-limits topics, clever use of homonyms (which the Chinese language lends itself to) further frustrates the censor's difficult task. Weibo's influence in breaking news stories and exposing corruption is so pronounced that foreign press outlets like the BBC and academic institutions like Yale University have posted articles focused on how Weibo is changing China.

Real name registration could change all of this.

In 2000, Bill Clinton said that China's attempt to control the internet was like trying to nail jello to the wall. Thirteen years later, however, there are very large slabs of jello nailed to the Great Firewall of China. The government has achieved a significant degree of control over its corner of the Internet through a variety of means, including control over the key access points where China's internet connects with the global internet and sophisticated filtering mechanisms that block access to undesirable content from outside the firewall.

Inside the firewall, China has tackled the censorship problem in part through the devolution of responsibility, holding each website operator accountable for all content that it hosts, including user generated content. As a result, Sina is held responsible for the content that users post on Weibo and therefore must implement its own filtering system to block and delete posts that the government might find objectionable. Because private Internet companies operating in China do so at the discretion of the government, each Internet company is itself one brick in the Great Firewall, working diligently to carry out the government censorship directives and thereby protect its own business.

With real name registration, the devolution of responsibility extends beyond the website operators and reaches individual users. When each Weibo post becomes tied to an identified person, then each individual user will be more likely to practice self-censorship with respect to their own posts.

Even without real name registration for user generated content websites, true anonymity on China's internet does not exist for most users. When registering for home or business internet access, real name registration is already required. Seventy percent of mobile phone users also register with their real names according to China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the new rules suggest that the anonymous prepaid mobile phone cards will be phased out. Internet cafés are also required to record the real identity of each user. As a result, unless someone posting on Weibo is being very careful, the government already has the means to identify the author of an unwanted post. The six people arrested in connection with spreading rumors of a coup attempt in the spring of 2012 discovered this fact the hard way.

To achieve self-censorship, however, the users must first understand that they can and will be held accountable for the content they post. As a result, it would not be surprising to see implementation of real name registration accompanied by publicity campaigns and a number of high profile prosecutions for posting illegal content.

The rules published last week are not, however, the first to require real name registration for Internet users in China. In December 2011 the municipality of Beijing issued rules requiring microblogging websites located in the northern capital to verify the identity of all of their users by March 16, 2012. Sina's Weibo is subject to these rules, but the company disclosed in its annual report on April 27, 2012, that they have not fully implemented the measures. In addition, as of the date of this article it is still possible to register a Weibo account and post content without providing real name registration information.

In April 2007, China's General Administration of Press and Publication, a key regulator of the Internet, issued regulations requiring real name registration for online game accounts in order to implement anti-fatigue rules designed to prevent minors from playing games for more than five hours at a time. Nearly six years later, however, these rules have not been fully implemented and users can still register online game accounts without providing real name registration information.

Will anything be different with this latest set of real name registration rules? The answer is probably yes.

This new rules were issued by the standing committee of the National People's Congress, which has a higher position in the official government structure than both the municipality of Beijing and the General Administration of Press and Publication. As a result, the issuance of these rules suggests not only that China's leadership at the highest levels support the rules, but that those same top leaders are paying attention to the issue of anonyms Weibo posts. With such high level focus, China's internet users should expect a much greater effort to fully implementation real name registration this time.

Hope that clarifies.

How much of falsehood do you wish to spread to showcase China.

It is not only the application, but the intent which is draconian and suffocating.

That is what matters.

No amount of your trying to show that China is not living in an umbrella of censorship and mind and thought control will wash, try as you might.

China and India is cooperating more closely in matters of interest in commerce and trade. The close geographic proximity makes us a natural trade ally. Quiet a lot of agreements and MoUs are signed between both the nations.(I dont want to post links onit cuz its all over the internet). But sometimes Chinese troll not just on the internet but on our borders too.. They Pa troll inside our territory at time escalating border tensions which makes us doubt their intentions about peace and subsets of peaces.

We are trying to develop our communication skills with the chinese, so that they understand our peaceful intentions better and bahave resposibly like a soverign nation should when it comes to staying away from border trolling and behaving as a responsible army should. As of now, we communicate by banners, hand gestures and middle finger salutes.

This is what you said
You claimed that Chinese netizens need to provide real identity for registration on Internet, I just proved that it's not true.

I never denied censorship in China, I was just correcting you that it does not work as you have imagined.

Weibo is not just a normal Internet app, it's the most vibrant opinion platform in Chinese cyberspace, it's registration process pretty much speaks volume of the enforcement of the real identity policy.

You proved nothing, except saying you proved it.

Have you registered yourself with your real name anywhere in the Indian cyberspace?

I did not want to open a new thread and so I am posting it here.

China's web regulator denies shutting foreign websites

The director of China's internet regulator has admitted that some foreign websites cannot be visited but denied shutting them down.

Lu Wei, who heads the State Internet Information Office, also said his department was planning to strengthen measures to "govern the internet".

Twitter, Facebook and the New York Times are not accessible in China.

The BBC's English-language website was blocked earlier this month, joining the BBC Chinese site.


Mr Lu was responding to queries at a press conference on the forthcoming World Internet Conference due to be held in Zhejiang province.

'Specifying behaviour'
Asked by a reporter why sites such as Facebook had been shut down, Mr Lu replied: "I have never used any of these websites so I don't know if they have been shut down. But as for situations where some sites become inaccessible, I think it is possible.

"We have never shut down any foreign sites. Your website is on your home soil. How can I go over to your home and shut it down?"

Mr Lu however added that while China was "hospitable", it could also "choose who can come to our home and be our guest".

"I can't change who you are but I have the power to choose my friends," he said. "I wish that all who come to China will be our real friends."

Mr Lu added that his department's measures were "meant to protect China's national security and China's consumers".

"We are going to further strengthen our rule of law, our administration, governance and usage of the internet, and use the law to specify behaviour in the online space," he added.

China keeps a tight grip on the internet.

Posts about sensitive topics are routinely scrubbed from the popular micro-blogging service Weibo, as seen during the recent Hong Kong protests.

State media said last year that the government employed more than two million people to monitor web activity.
BBC News - China's web regulator denies shutting foreign websites
It is official confirmation that China blocks the cyberspace as also foreign broadcast.

And uses a huge number of people to monitor their websites.

But then it is correct from the Chinese Govt's point of view because the Communist have a paranoia about public uprisings and revolts that could topple the Communist Govt, especially since China is getting 'alien' ideas with all this opening up of China for economic prosperity.

Imagine the chaos and impotence displayed by the Communist puppet Govt in Hong Kong because of international presence over the continuing unrest in HK, leading to embarrassment and helplessness of the Communist Govt in the Mainland.
