反日コメントを規制　当局、排外主義を懸念か―中国ＩＴ各社

　【北京時事】中国ＩＴ各社は１日までに、運営するプラットフォームに、反日感情をあおるコメントなどを投稿することを規制すると発表した。江蘇省で日本人学校のスクールバスが襲撃された事件を肯定する投稿が相次いだことから、排外主義の高まりに当局が懸念を深め、指示を出したもようだ。
　人気対話アプリ「微信（ウィーチャット）」を運営する騰訊（テンセント）は６月２９日、「一部のユーザーが中日の対立や極端な民族主義をあおる行為について、断固として取り締まる」との声明を発表。関連する投稿を削除し、アカウント閉鎖にも踏み切ったことを明らかにした。ＴｉｋＴｏｋ（ティックトック）の中国版「抖音（ドウイン）」も３０日に同様の措置を公表した。（2024/07/01-17:48）

Chinese information technology companies have taken steps to regulate comments seen as instigating anti-Japan sentiment on the online platforms they operate.
   Authorities apparently instructed the companies to take such measures due to concerns over exclusivism after a series of social media posts showed support for a knife attack on a Japanese woman and her child waiting for a Japanese school bus last month in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. The attack left the mother and child injured and a Chinese woman who tried to stop the attacker dead.
   There were online posts that called for all Japanese people in China to leave the country and claimed that China does not need Japanese schools.
   Tencent Holdings Ltd., the operator of popular communication app WeChat, said in a statement Saturday that it will crack down on acts by users that incite extreme nationalism and conflict between Japan and China.
   The company also said that it has deleted some posts and closed the accounts of those who made such posts.
