China enforces new AI labeling requirements across major platforms

The Communist Party of China can not resist to meddle! Will this hamper further advances of ML & AI in China?

"China’s new law requiring labels for all AI-generated content took effect this week, prompting social media platforms including WeChat, Douyin, Weibo, and Xiaohongshu to implement compliance features.

The regulation mandates both explicit visible labels and implicit metadata identifiers for AI-generated text, images, audio, video, and other synthetic content. Platforms now offer tools for creators to declare AI-generated content voluntarily, while also deploying detection systems to identify unlabeled AI material. The law reflects Beijing’s growing concerns about misinformation, copyright infringement, and online fraud related to AI technology, particularly deepfakes. The regulation was drafted by China’s Cyberspace Administration along with three other government ministries as part of the country’s broader AI oversight efforts."
