Internet watchdog solicits public opinion on draft internet management regulation

The Cyberspace Administration of China, the country's top internet regulator, on Tuesday started soliciting public opinion on a draft regulation for internet management.

The move aims to maintain good internet order, protect the legal rights and interests of citizens, legal persons and other organizations and foster a clean cyberspace.

Internet content creators are banned from generating illegal information that violates basic principles stipulated by China's Constitution and harms national honor and interests, according to the draft.

They are also banned from spreading false information that disrupts economic and social order or information that instigates crimes.
