With the approaching of the 17th National Congress, BBS in China will face special registration and rectification.

The currently conducted BBS rectification is real, and it is being carried out all over the country, with Guangdong taking the lead. The specific steps are as follows:

Phase one: Strict inspection of BBS domain name registration, expected to be completed by mid-July.

Phase two: Strict inspection of BBS special registration, expected to be completed by mid-August.

Phase three: Strict inspection of BBS servers and websites, expected to be completed by the end of September.

In other words, forums without special registration will be basically all closed before National Day.
