Dutch Public Broadcaster NOS:
Yesterday, the period of soliciting opinions closed for the newly proposed national network identification and authentication management, also referred to as "Wanghao" or "Wangzheng." These proposed measures caused backlash in China, including among leading intellectuals. How will your ministry guarantee that a transgression on one internet platform will not cause an individual to be excluded from all other necessary internet services needed in modern day life?
Qi Yanjun:
Thank you to the foreign journalist friend for your question. Recently, during the process of soliciting opinions on cyberspace IDs and certificates, many good opinions and suggestions have been put forward by all sectors of society, and we have paid interest to all of them. Regarding this issue, I would like to invite Mr. Qiu to answer.
Qiu Baoli:
I'll answer this question. Thank you for your interest in this issue.
As this journalist mentioned, on July 26, the MPS and the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) jointly released the draft measures for the administration of cyberspace IDs and solicited opinions, attracting widespread attention. On Aug. 25, the soliciting period ended, and we are now meticulously sorting through the opinions from all sides and fully incorporating everyone's suggestions. Regarding the issues of cyberspace IDs and certificates that everyone is interested in, the media has provided detailed interpretations of related issues last week. I recommend the journalist friend look into them. The explanations are very detailed and comprehensive, and can answer your questions.
However, it should be noted that after the implementation of the national cyberspace ID service, users will have an additional safe and convenient option. Original network identity authentication methods can still be used, and users can still access the internet normally without using cyberspace IDs or certificates. Thank you.
