Anti-terrorism law urged

While tackling the scourge of online terror-related videos and files, China should still further develop the Internet and provide a space for the public to speak, a senior anti-terror expert said.

"It is essential that we tackle online products that instigate religious extremism and breed mistrust, but that doesn't mean information relating to ethnicity and religions should be shielded," said Li Wei, a leading anti-terror specialist in China.

The development of the Internet is important, "and it is not in conflict with our anti-terrorism work," he said.
