Regulations for news web sites in China just got tougher

Chinese government's Ministry of Information has announced some new regulations for news web sites on the Internet in China. Though the norms are not yet clear, they are expected to strengthen the state's grip over Internet. The move follows reports that the Chinese rate of growth of Internet users is the fastest growing in the world. The Chinese government has been on the "Internet control" move for quite sometime, by shutting down cybercafes and web sites by accusing them of dissidence and pornography.
