中國提出基於區塊鏈的資訊服務提供者的新法規草案

中國最高層級的網路監管機構中國國家網路資訊辦公室（CAC）於 10 月 19 日發布了針對基於區塊鏈的資訊服務供應商的新規定草案。

China’s Cyberspace Administration (CAC) has published new draft regulations for blockchain-based information service providers in the country.

中國國家互聯網資訊辦公室（CAC）發布了針對該國基於區塊鏈的資訊服務提供者的新法規草案。

The draft, published Oct. 19, proposes twenty three articles for the regulation of all companies or entities providing blockchain-based information services to the Chinese public. Under the proposed rules, all such entities would be required to register with the CAC within ten days of launching their platforms.

該草案於 10 月 19 日發布，提出了 23 條條款，用於監管向中國公眾提供基於區塊鏈的資訊服務的所有公司或實體。根據擬議的規則，所有此類實體都必須在平台啟動後十天內向 CAC 註冊。

The regulations would also require service providers to censor content that is deemed to pose a threat to national security or to “disrupt the social order,” and to allow authorities to inspect user data stored on their systems.

這些法規還要求服務提供者審查被認為對國家安全構成威脅或「擾亂社會秩序」的內容，並允許當局檢查儲存在其係統上的使用者資料。

Notably, one article would make it mandatory for service providers to ask users to register using their real names, phone numbers and national ID card numbers, in order to mitigate the perceived risks of a pseudonymous blockchain-based system that operates without a centralized entity’s oversight.

值得注意的是，一篇文章將強制服務提供者要求用戶使用真實姓名、電話號碼和身分證號碼進行註冊，以減輕在沒有集中實體監督的情況下運行的基於假名區塊鏈的系統的感知風險。

As local media the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reports today, the identity requirement reportedly comes in the wake of a high-profile incident in April, in which a Chinese activist is said to have published an “open letter” onto the Ethereum (ETH) public blockchain regarding the alleged cover-up of sexual harassment at a prestigious local university.

據當地媒體《南華早報》(SCMP) 今天報道，據報道，身份要求是在4 月份發生的一起備受矚目的事件之後提出的，據稱一名中國活動人士在以太坊上發表了一封“公開信」（ ETH）公共區塊鏈，涉及涉嫌掩蓋當地一所著名大學的性騷擾事件。

The activist’s choice to attach the letter onto a publicly-visible transaction on Ethereum came after internet censors had attempted to restrict the post’s circulation on the popular Chinese social media platforms WeChat and Weibo.

在網路審查機構試圖限制該貼文在中國流行的社群媒體平台微信和微博上的傳播之後，該活動人士選擇將這封信附加到以太坊上公開可見的交易中。

SCMP further cites Beijing-based lawyer Xu Kai’s perspective on the draft rules, who has reportedly highlighted the fact that the document does not address the immutable nature of data on blockchain-based systems, and specifically the fact that this immutability is in conflict with Chinese laws on user data. Xu reportedly further notes that the rules do not outline enforcement procedures to “protect the rights” of blockchain platforms.

《南華早報》進一步引用了北京律師徐凱對規則草案的看法，據報道，他強調了該文件並未解決基於區塊鏈的系統上數據的不可變性的事實，特別是這種不可變性與中國的法律相衝突。據報道，徐進一步指出，這些規則沒有概述「保護區塊鏈平台權利」的執行程序。

As reported August 21, WeChat permanently blocked a number of crypto and blockchain related accounts that were suspected of publishing Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and crypto-related “hype” in violation of new regulations that had been introduced by the CAC earlier this summer. The content restrictions were introduced as part of a wider sweep of tightened anti-crypto measures, both online and offline.

根據 8 月 21 日報道，微信永久封鎖了一些涉嫌發布 ICO 和加密相關「炒作」的加密貨幣和區塊鏈相關帳戶，這些帳戶違反了網信辦今年夏天早些時候推出的新規定。這些內容限制是作為更廣泛的線上和離線反加密措施的一部分而引入的。
