Liu Zhengrong Quotations

Overall, what we have done in regulating the internet is consistent with international practice.

We seek to regulate, not control, the Internet. If an American website censors or deletes harmful information posted by an Internet user, this is considered normal. But when a Chinese website does so, it is considered abnormal and criticized. I think this is not fair and is a form of double standard.

Major U.S. companies do this and it is regarded as normal. So why should China not be entitled to do so?

No one in China has been arrested simply because he or she said something on the Internet.

It is unfair to slam web sites' deletion of harmful content in China, which web sites in other countries like the US regularly do.

Since 2000, China has enacted serial regulations and laws for Internet service providers, by which China manages its Internet market in line with international conventions.

The foreign web companies should know about the relevant regulations and laws in China. It is their own business to restrict specific actions.

However, China's police authority would not sit by and be apathetic and indifferent to law-violating behaviors or content on the Internet.

Every market should have some rules for developing in a good order.
