Zhou Xiang, Director of the Office of the Network Security and Informatization Committee of Hunan Provincial Committee and Director of the Provincial Internet Information Office, issued certificates for various news organizations.

According to the Regulations on the Management of Internet News Information Services, providing Internet news information services to the public through websites, applications, forums, blogs, micro-blogs, public accounts, instant messaging tools and live network broadcasting should obtain permission for Internet news information services and prohibit to carry out Internet news and information services without or beyond the scope of permission. Therefore, "Internet news information service license" is the most important "identity card" for any unit engaged in Internet news information service.

Each licensed news unit should improve its political position and fully recognize the importance of the license work of Internet news information service, which is an important means to strengthen the management of Internet news information service and improve the level of Internet news information service, is also an important reflection of the implementation of the Party's management of media and an important measure to implement the responsibility system of Internet ideology. He hoped that all units will not forget their initial intention and continue to be the pioneers of network news services, effectively strengthen the construction of websites themselves, and fully implement the main responsibility.
