World In China, no Internet for you!

[The Helper]

In a drastic move to tighten regulations of the Internet, individuals can no longer register domain names in China, and those who already have personal websites could lose them.

According to a statement on The China Internet Network Information Centre, as of this week, the only people who can register new domains will be businessmen or organizations, and all those new registrants will need to have both written application materials as well as copies of their enterprise’s business license or organization code certificate.

The China Internet Network Information Centre, which supervises domain name registration, says that the measure stemmed from concern over widespread pornographic content on personal websites.

Whole story here.

Ahh..
Another alternative to kissing a frog or eating a spoon full of salt.

Read Chinese news once before you leave the house, then, nothing bad that happens to you for the rest of the day will make you sad.

I'm hugely disappointed by the headline. China hasn't been communist for at least 10 years. China is a turbocapitalist state with a strong (malevolent, some would say) bureaucracy.

Register the domain as a businessmen or organizations...

But register it that way and use it for another way, and you better have an escape plan.
