Xinhua news agency reports that China will enact new internet restrictions during its annual parliamentary session. The new regulations are expected to include 24-hour monitoring of major Chinese Internet chat rooms and all messages will be censored and filtered before appearing on the Internet. Qin Rui, deputy director of the Public Information and Internet Security Supervision Bureau, says that while China embraces the Internet for its economic benefits, the country must ensure that it is not exploited by people with "ulterior motives." China shut down over 1,200 cybercafes in 2004 and expects the number of internet users in China to grow to 120 million in 2005.
