China must strengthen its grip on the internet to ensure broader social and economic goals are met, state news agency Xinhua reported on Saturday citing comments from President Xi Jinping, underlining a hardening attitude towards online content.
Under Xi’s rule China has increasingly tightened its grip on the internet, concerned about losing influence and control over a younger generation who are driving a diverse and vibrant online culture from livestreaming to blogs.
“Without web security there’s no national security, there’s no economic and social stability, and it’s difficult to ensure the interests of the broader masses,” Xinhua cited Xi as saying.
“We cannot let the internet become a platform for disseminating harmful information and stirring up trouble with rumors,” he added in comments made at a cyber security conference in Beijing, Xinhua said.
Always with control and power, those dirty communists.

1. China easily has the most Internet users in the world– 710 million. That compares with 460 million in India and 290 million in the United States. Online spending is a two-country race: China is No. 2 in online spending with $967 billion in 2016 versus $1.1 trillion for the United States. China’s online spending is almost three times No. 3 Germany, the leader in Europe.
2. China’s Internet spending has been growing fast – 32% annually for the past five years.
3. China’s Internet growth potential is still huge: Internet penetration as of July 2016 was a mere 52% compared with 88% in the United States.
4. China has five of the world’s 10 largest publicly traded internet companies (as of June 30): Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, JD.com, NetEase. The United States. has the other five.

Benjamin Cooper
obviously the answer to fake news is to make a strictly controlled government message that no is allowed to question. we have always been at war with eurasia
Owen Clark
That's half the answer. The other half is building an alternative to your enemy that you can physically give to people, so they don't question the government message because they know it can deliver. But yes, crushing the message of your enemies historically proves to be a very effective half-answer.
