China: 'Using the Internet to mock others will be punished'

The Xinhua News Agency reported yesterday that Chongqing City has issued a new regulation that will allow anyone to commit information that mocks others online.

Accordingly, any person who acts to use the Internet to spread information, satire, criticize or ridicule others or hurt others' honor can be fined up to $ 625.

Acts of spreading short videos with satirical content that mock others or ridicule a social event on the Internet are also covered by the above regulation.

Chongqing's new regulation is considered to be the answer to the explosion of other humorous short films that are circulated on the Internet in China. This is also one of the efforts in the Chinese government's tighter Internet control plan.

The sarcastic, sarcastic short videos have become so popular in China that the people of the country have created a 'egao' slang phrase to talk about the spread of this type of video.

However, Xinhua News Agency has not provided details on how Chongqing City made a decision to violate any of the above rules.

Meanwhile, the Chinese government encourages people to use the Internet for business and teaching purposes, and prohibits the use of the Internet for wrong purposes.

Chinese film managers in August also introduced regulations to regulate 'egao' behavior by only allowing some websites to upload short videos online.
