 Ueberwachung: China und wir-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
 
 Um die chinesische Version des russischen SORM [=
 ENFOPOL = CALEA] handelt es sich nicht allein, wie
 Bobson [siehe darunter] meint. Vielmehr ist die in der
 Reuters-Meldung beschriebene, chinesische Lösung eine
 konzise Zusammenfassung aller Zugriffsmöglichkeiten des
 Staats an sich auf die Informationsgesellschaft.
 
 Wer meint, dass dies halt typisch für eine Diktatur und nicht
 so wirklich mit europäischen Standards zu vergleichen sei  -
 das so genannte 3rd generation partnership project 3ggp
 legt grade die Überwachungsstandards für UMTS fest:

 Neben dem europäischen ETSI und den Pendants in US, JP,
 KR ist auch das China Telecom Standards Institute in dieser
 famosen Partnerschaft dabei.

 Think of this as a Chinese version of SORM...

 China Enacts Sweeping Rules On Internet Firms October 2,
 2000 Web posted at: 10:17 PM HKT (1417 GMT)
 
 BEIJING, China (Reuters) -- China published sweeping new
 regulations on Internet companies on Monday that limit
 international investment, require strict surveillance against
 "subversive" content and threaten to close down any
 unlicensed firms.
 
 The rules, passed by China's cabinet two weeks ago and
 published in the official Xinhua Daily Telegraph on Monday,
 are sure to send shockwaves through the country's fledgling
 Internet industry, which is heavily dependent on international
 capital.
 
 By holding companies responsible for blocking vast
 categories of illegal content on their Web sites and
 chatrooms, the rules also illustrate the Communist Party's
 determination to contain the spread of ideas deemed
 dangerous to its rule.
 ...
 Internet content and service providers must keep records of
 all the content that appears on their Web sites and all the
 users who dial on to their servers for 60 days, and hand the
 records to police on demand, the rules state.
 
 ...
 Companies without licenses and those exceeding their
 stated business scopes will be fined or shut down, the rules
 state.
 ...
 It states that Internet content providers must win the approval
 of the Ministry of Information Industry before they can receive
 international capital, cooperate with international businesses,
 or attempt domestic or overseas stock listings.
 
 "The proportion of foreign investment must conform with
 relevant laws and administrative regulations," the rules state.
 
 China last year announced a total ban on non-Chinese
 capital in Internet content providers (ICPs).
 ....
 The new rules appear to extend the investment ban even to
 firms that lack ambitions for stock listings and could spark a
 scramble to move businesses off-shore or restructure.
 
 Beijing has pledged to allow 49 percent international stakes
 in Internet content providers when it joins the World Trade
 Organization, but that could be several months away.
 ....
 "Internet content providers that conduct news, publishing or
 electronic bulletin board services must record the information
 content they provide and the times they publish it," the rules
 state.
 
 Internet service providers, the companies that connect people
 to the Internet, must "record the times users log on to the
 Internet, users' account numbers, Internet addresses or
 domain names and the phone numbers users dial in from,"
 they state.
 
 The records should be provided to police investigators upon
 request, and Web sites should censor and report any illegal
 content that is posted, they state
 ....
 
 Definitions of illegal content are vague, such as "spreading
 rumors," "disrupting social stability" and gambling and
 pornography.
