China's Ministry of Public Security has initiated a special operation to address illegal activities online, focusing on issues such as rumor-mongering, extortion, and inflated metrics. Since the start of the year, over 900 internet accounts have been sanctioned for engaging in these activities, according to reports from Xinhua. Concurrently, the Cyberspace Administration of China has committed to an ongoing crackdown on financial misconduct in cyberspace, aiming to safeguard citizens' property. Recent actions have included the removal of improper information from various internet accounts. Additionally, the country is tightening regulations on methane emissions from coal mines, with new standards mandating the utilization of coalbed gas that has a methane concentration exceeding 8 percent, as part of its broader environmental goals.
