China seeks to reduce Internet users' anonymity (AP)
Can't quite follow on that news report.
if you want to buy a handphone in China- respectivly a sim card - you need to forward your ID card anyway. - so that is nothing new - same would be in Germany, unless you buy a prepaid card - which in China no local person would do - unless he got something to hide.
There are thousands of criminal individuals or companies - sending millions of fake messages across the country in order to steal peoples money - as such I think it is a great idea to impose - these laws onto everyone.
It is also not a moderator - as mentioned in the article - that has to show his real name but the owner or initiators of blogger sites.
A German friend of mine got conned for a 140,000 US$ - it was extremly difficult to investigate the case since the server was stationed outside of China routing through a server in Beijing, and prepaid cards were used in this internet fraud.
And these kind of frauds are a real menace in China - not everything is always about just human rights.

It's the same here you must give personal data to buy a sim card, but top up cards are no regulated. Yes and some folks get conned by Chinese scams here too,

Yeah. You can say what you want but you are held accountable if you break the law by conducting fraud.
Same deal in Korea. No anonymous pay-as-you-go prepaid phones.

They had a good case here in China about 8 month ago. A bicycle driver was run over - dead - and a guy who happened to pass by - noticed a civilian using a handphone.
The ongoing investigation did not bring up the culprit - till the passer by got to hear about this and reported the guy using a handphone.
They checked every call on that day - and it turned out to be a police officer who was drunk and had run over that girl. Well one 7,62 × 39 mm for the Police officer and case closed.
