網信辦責令網站關閉任志強微博賬號

China's top Internet regulator on last Sunday ordered the microblogging platforms of Sina and Tencent to shut down the accounts of Ren Zhiqiang, a celebrity blogger and property developer, for spreading illegal information.

中國國家網信辦上週日責令新浪、騰訊微博平臺關閉知名博主、地產商任志強的賬號，原因是其傳播違法信息。

"Cyberspace is not a lawless field and it should not be used to spread illegal information by anyone," said Jiang Jun, spokesperson with the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC).

國家網信辦發言人姜軍表示：“網絡空間不是一個非法的領域，它不應該被任何人用來傳播非法信息。”

Ren's microblog accounts have been closed after netizens reported that he had regularly posted illegal information, "resulting in a vile influence," according to Jiang.

姜軍說：“此前，據網民舉報，任志強微博賬號持續公開發布違法信息，影響惡劣。”

The CAC vowed intensified law enforcement efforts in monitoring and managing online information and content, saying that it would not allow users of the closed accounts to register again under another name.

國家網信辦承諾將加大網上信息內容監督管理執法力度，並表示決不允許已被關閉賬號的用戶"換馬甲"再次註冊。

Jiang called on both the Internet service providers and netizens to enhance awareness and guard "the bottom lines" of laws, the socialist system, the national and citizen's legal interests, social order, ethics and the authenticity of information.

姜軍指出，無論是互聯網信息服務提供者還是網民，都應增強自律意識和堅守法律底線、堅守社會主義制度底線、堅守國家利益底線、堅守公民合法權益底線、堅守道德風尚底線、堅守信息真實性底線。

The celebrity microbloggers as well as bloggers dubbed "Big Vs" should use their influence correctly, exemplify in observing laws, shoulder their due social responsibilities, and promote "positive energy" actively, Jiang said.

姜軍還說道，網絡名人、“網絡大Ｖ”更要正確運用自身影響力，模範遵守法律法規，自覺承擔社會責任，積極傳播正能量。
