China has been practicing the rule that asks people to use their real names when registering(注册) for Internet service. The rules also ask Internet companies operating in China to remove the untrue information which the web users ever gave.
Chinese lawmakers passed the rule on December 28th,2012, at the end of a five-day meeting of the Standing Committee of the NPC.
The new rules say network service providers must well check up the information given by users. The providers have been ordered to stop the spread of illegal （违法的）information, and take steps to deal with the problem. The Xinhua News says those steps include removing the information from the Internet and then reporting it to the government.
Chinese officials say the rules are aimed at protecting the personal information of Internet users and stopping false information such as junk e-mail. However, some people say such new real-name rules will make people less likely to report illegal actions for fear of possible action against them.
Duncan Clark is an adviser to Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. He lives in Beijing. He says, “For a long time we’ve seen the Internet being used to report illegal action, but the new rules seem to stop those reports.”
But the good news is through real-name registration the Internet crime among teenagers will be controlled.
