BEIJING: A leading Chinese Internet regulator has vowed to reduce anonymity in China’s portion of cyberspace. It is calling for new rules to require people to use their real names when buying a mobile phone or going online.
In an address to the national legislature in April, Wang Chen, director of the State Council Information Office, called for perfecting the extensive system of censorship the government uses to manage the fast-evolving Internet, according to a text of the speech obtained by New York-based Human Rights in China.
