Cyber experts said China is unlikely to ease its Internet regulation over national security concerns, after a political adviser suggested that access to overseas websites be hastened, on the sidelines of China's two sessions.

Tougher regulation to safeguard national security and cyber security is the global trend, and it takes more than China alone to balance the speedy access and security, said experts.

Luo Fuhe, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, told media on Wednesday that one of his six proposals was to call for easing China's Internet regulation for faster access to overseas academic websites, China Youth Daily reported.

In his proposal, Luo warned that access to overseas websites has further slowed, which he believes would tremendously affect scientific research as well as the country's economic and social development.

Luo said the "limited allocation of international bandwidth," "limited Net service suppliers" and "China's tough Internet regulation" have slowed access.

Luo recommended the government draft a list of websites that are off-limits and to grant full access to "non-political" websites frequented by researchers. He also suggested that "sensitive information" on some "neutral websites" be screened, such as search engines, to improve the utility of overseas Internet resources.

However, to safeguard national security, slow access to some overseas websites is unlikely to change, Xiang Ligang, a communication technology expert and visiting professor at the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, told the Global Times.

Meanwhile,"the reality is that the global regulation and management of cyberspace is not easing but getting tougher. For example, the US is actively filtering ISIS-related information that poses a threat to its homeland security," he added.

Xiang also pointed out that it is difficult to determine whether a website is "neutral," and the current technology can only effectively filter text information, but not for audio-visual content.

"China can only contribute and decide on one half, while the other half is decided by other countries," Shen Yi, deputy director of the cyberspace management center at Fudan University, told the Global Times on Sunday.

The Internet can hardly be pure with PRISM, a classified US intelligence project, hovering over it, said Shen. He added that one should never overlook the fact that visits by Chinese users were also often blocked by foreign countries.
