Almaty. August 17. Silkroadnews – Chinese authorities have banned Chinese companies to use too long or odd names, CNBC wrote.
“Authorities in China have issued rules that prevent businesses from registering overly long or bizarre company names. China’s State Administration for Industry and Commerce stated in a list of 33 guidelines that the use of entire phrases or paragraphs as company names was no longer permissible. The guidelines were implemented by regulators over the weekend”, the report said.
““Company names that will likely no longer make the cut under the rules include “There is a Group of Young People with Dreams, Who Believe They Can Make the Wonders of Life Under the Leadership of Uncle Niu Internet Technology Co. Ltd”, a condom company which went viral on Chinese social media for its lengthy name”, the publication reads.
It is said that Chinese entrepreneurs have repeatedly registered quite bizarre names, including “King of Nanning, Guangxi, and His Friends Trading Co. Ltd” and “Beijing Under My Wife’s Thumb Technology Co. Ltd.”.
According to the publication, the new rules also bans the registration of names that have anything to do with terrorism and extremism, as well as those that try to imitate the names of already registered enterprises and use names of political leaders, such as Mao Zedong.
The U.S. television channel puts the new rules in line with the ban on the use of VPN in China, probably believing that they violate the rights and freedoms of citizens.
