Recently, the Cyberspace Administration of China ("CAC") issued the Regulations on the Protection of Minors Online (Draft for Comment) (the "Draft for Comment") to seek public comments once again.

The Draft for Comment, consisting of 67 articles in seven chapters, calls for increased efforts on improvement of internet literacy of minors, standardization of network information, strengthened protection of minors' personal information, and prevention and control of minors' internet addiction. Among them, the Draft for Comment requires that providers of network services such as online game, livestreaming, online audio and video, and online social networking should take measures to set a reasonable limit on the amount of single consumption and cumulative amount of consumption in a single day for minors when they use online products or services, and such providers may not provide minors with paid services incompatible with their capacity for civil conduct. In addition, the Draft for Comment also stipulates corresponding legal liability for relevant violations.
