China s internet regulator has announced a crackdown on citizen journalism around the country, banning anyone from posting news-related information online without a license.
The move was announced by Zhuang Rongwen, deputy director of the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) s central propaganda department, during a Jan. 29 online conference on promoting orderly communications on all online platforms, the Cyberspace Administration said in a statement on its official website. We must control the source of online texts, and resolutely close any loopholes, Zhuang told the conference. The standardized management of citizen journalism should be a priority, with increased punishments for offenders and actual teeth for regulators.

World Health Organization (WHO) investigators probing the origins of the coronavirus in China are unlikely to be allowed to meet with critics of the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) s handling of the early stages of the pandemic, an overseas-based rights group said on Monday.
The team visited two disease control centers on Monday that had an early hand in managing the outbreak in the central Chinese city of Wuhan.
Since emerging from a 14-day quarantine period, the team which has said it isn t trying to apportion blame for the pandemic have also visited hospitals and a seafood market linked to an early cluster of cases.
