China morning round-up: Tackling 'internet rumours'
An appeal by a Chinese internet agency to tackle "internet rumours" is widely discussed in Monday's newspapers.
People's Dailyand others report that the Internet Society of China published a proposal on the matter, claiming that online rumours had caused a "serious threat" to people's rights, public interest, national security and social stability.
The society - which is overseen by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology - asks internet firms to "boycott the spread of online rumours consciously" and intensify management of online forums and micro-blogging platforms.
People's Daily,Shanghai Morning Post,Guangzhou's Southern Metropolis Dailyas well asBeijing Timesall run commentaries which claim that the "real name" system - whereby users are required to register their real names before participating in forums or on micro-blogs - is the solution to the problem.
China launched a "clean-up" of two major micro-blogging platforms late last month after rumours of a coup in Beijing spread amid speculation about a power struggle among the ruling elite as top Communist Party official Bo Xilai was sacked.
Beijing Timesalso reports that with security officials from member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation meeting in the Chinese capital on Thursday, the six countries will discuss strengthening efforts to combat "online terrorism".

"The Dalai Lama is another good example. He has been supported by the West for decades. Except for his seemingly glorified status, his real mission is hopeless. "
"Many choose to advance China's democracy within this legal framework. Confrontation is pointless," it said.

Huang "went missing" in early 2009 but resurfaced last week to represent Australia in the Sydney Badminton Open. Reports say she is still on the state payroll in China.
China Dailyalso reports that a British-built Hawker Siddeley Trident jet has been abandoned in a field in eastern Anhui province.
The military jet - which was once used exclusively by late Premier Zhou Enlai - was meant to be an exhibit inside a museum to be built on the site where the jet now stands, but the museum never materialised.
