Another kind of web registration

Via a poster at HKBloggers Groups, Beijing's Public Security Bureau has just lauched a new web registration drive on May 31 targetting Beijing-based sites and site owners. The registration aims to prevent and clean out computer viruses circulating on websites.

A blogger was quoted as saying that the registration is a paper-based process, making it an even more cumbersome process than the national-wide web registration that has just ended. He also questioned the practically of the measures, given the vast number of website registration that the PSB needs to process - manually.

I am too tired to translate the piece tonight. If you can read Chinese, you can read more about the news here. It seems to me that the PSB in the capital wants to look busy this summer or to remind the general public that it exists.
