China says will more tightly regulate celebrities' online information

In recent months, authorities in China have moved to dampen the country's 'chaotic' celebrity fan culture.

China's cyberspace regulator said on Tuesday (Nov 23) it will more tightly regulate the online information of celebrities, including the publishing of their personal details and the placements of their advertisements on internet sites.

The Cyberspace Administration of China said this was aimed at creating a positive and healthy internet environment, describing the proliferation of gossip and star-chasing as impacting mainstream values.
