With widespread online rumor saying China will implement a blog real name system, the Internet Society of China (ISC) has clarified that so far the Ministry of Information Industry has not officially made any related policies.
 
However, a real name system will be an unavoidable choice if China wants to standardize and develop its blog industry.

The society is working on a real name system for Chinese bloggers, which attested to netizens' longtime guess about it and triggered a hot controversy.

Some reports on the Internet about the implementation of the real name system are not "very accurate."

Under such a system, a netizen has to register with his real name to open a blog, but can still write under a pseudonym.

Yet the panel also pointed out in their report that a lot of preparatory work must be done before the real name system officially runs.

China has about 17.5 million bloggers.
