    Here is a short article from yesterday in the China Daily which touches on the unclear regulations for foreign Weibo users.

    It also says:

    Quote:
    Weibo, a Chinese Twitter-like service, will require anyone registered after March 16 to provide their real identities to post or forward micro blogs.

    So maybe anyone currently on Weibo won’t even have to worry about the new regulations?

    I think they’re “keeping the peace”. I’ve seen a few articles over the last week about major unrest in Tibetan areas. This one from the New York Times is a couple weeks old but sums it up nicely.

    Also, apparently China just fired 3 Tibetan Officials for failing to crack down on unrest.

    I was reading about this on the Shanghaiist this morning. Here’s the first comment on the article.

    I have tried registering my real name on my Weibo, but it rejects my name because it is English, assuming the only names people have in the world are Chinese. I guess I’ll be forced to come up with a fake Chinese name for myself. Thanks, real name registration policy, for forcing me to register a fake name

    Maybe this will be some bullshit security feature that anyone can get around by putting in a random Chinese name, or maybe not. I don’t see myself registering my name just to use weibo, but if a made up Chinese name will suffice, I’ll probably stick around.

    I think that’s the same place I go to – we went there together one time right?

    Yup, same place. Good service and you can’t beat the price.

    Rachel and I went to a basic place in Yulin on Sunday, no private rooms, tea or fruit, but you can’t beat 15 kuai for about an hour. It was on 彩虹街, close to 玉林西路.
