China clamps new controls over Internet

BEIJING, Jan 26 (Reuters) - China clamped new controls over the Internet on Wednesday, announcing that web sites and their users would be held responsible for leaks of state secrets.

Separately, a Shanghai newspaper said restrictive rules on Internet news content would be announced this month, including a ban on reporters hired by web sites.

''All organisations and individuals are forbidden from releasing, discussing or transferring state secret information on bulletin boards, chat rooms or in Internet news groups,'' the State Bureau of Secrecy announced in rules carried in the People's Daily.

China's definition of ''state secrets'' is so broad it can encompass anything not specifically approved for publication. The crime of leaking state secrets has been used in the past to jail journalists and is often invoked against opponents of the Communist Party.

The rules require organisations with computer links to the Internet to set up a system safeguarding against leaks of state secrets.

The Shanghai Daily said the State Press and Publication Administration was crafting rules on content that would pose a ''major challenge'' for domestic web sites.
