discussion

"Can rules on paid contributions be adopted and/or enforced in the Chinese context?"

The availability of user-generated data intermediary and tools has become important for government and corporate research of “public opinion monitoring and guiding” business in China. As Chinese government employ 'internet opinion analysts' to monitor and guide public opinion, often with young recruits fresh from college, it becomes a challenge for the Chinese-language Wikipedia community to build mutual trust based on transparent editing and interest.

A discussion is thus need to explore how both passive and pro-active measures can be taken to prevent or direct paid constributions. Pro-active measures to invite Xinhuanet professionals to have official account can also be considered.
