Wen backs tighter Net regulations – Vivian Wu

From South China Morning Post, via AsiaMedia (link):

Premier Wen Jiabao gave his backing to new rules on the protection of communication rights on the internet at a State Council meeting yesterday, as the government steps up efforts to regulate the mainland’s disorderly internet information services market.

The new regulations were “principally passed” at the State Council meeting, Xinhua reported, adding they would be implemented after the final revision of a draft which has been posted on the National Copyright Administration website since October.
