ChinaTechNews.com China
Zhang says at the end of 2008 an anti-addiction test was implemented on 59 online games run by influential Chinese game companies and the pass rate reached 95%. nly four companies were closed for failing to meet the standards. In 2009 China will continue to promote the online game anti-addiction system and launch the real name certification system hoping to raise online game companies’ attention to accelerate the development of relevant software. The real name system will ensure that gamers register to play games using their real names and real identification. Zhang emphasizes that GAPP will give special support to original Chinese games. For example in an online game cooperation deal if the legitimate rights of the Chinese party were harmed by the foreign party and the case was accepted by a Chinese court China would suspend the approval of the game until the problem was settled. In addition the administration will enhance supervision over unhealthy contents added without authorization by online game operators while fighting illegal private servers to protect the intellectual property of online games and boost the business interests of Chinese companies.
