Public Accounts in China Get Verified: Tencent, TikTok, Kuaishou and More Display “V” Badges
China’s CAC is implementing a “license-and-display” system for online news, requiring platforms like Tencent and Douyin to identify licensed providers. Over 13,500 public accounts now display a red “V” insignia. The CAC aims to regulate online content, cracking down on illegal activities while potentially incentivizing licensed accounts with traffic support. Websites and platforms are also visibly displaying licensing information as part of this initiative.
