(…) According to the Public Security official interviewed by the Beijing Youth Daily, their real function is to remind internet users that the Chinese police are watching people online no differently than offline.
(...) Ein Beamter der Behörde für öffentliche Sicherheit gab gegenüber Beijing Youth Daily an, die Nutzer daran erinnern, das die chinesische Polizei sie online genauso überwacht wie offline.
