Boost on the way for new media to safeguard Internet

China intends to pay more attention to new-media construction to ensure good order on the Internet, a senior Chinese publicity official said on Thursday

Liu Qibao, head of the Publicity Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, said that despite the convenience and amazing flow of information on new media - including social networks - more fake news is being spread on the Internet.

He was speaking at the signing of a series of cooperation deals and memorandums by media magnates from China and Russia in the Russian city of Saint Petersburg.
