Screenshot from video 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."
