      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.
