We-Chat: "Chinese WhatsApp" is waging a war on false news

With a growing concern about the circulation of false news on social networks, one of China's famous networks, China Chat, launched the Chinese version of WattsApp, an application that shows whether the news is being circulated correctly.

With more than 800 million active users, "We-Chat" provides the ability to tell the reader whether the link sent to it is considered fraudulent by content managers, police or official media, ).

The application is one of the small new applications launched this year by "We-Chat", which operates only within the social network, and is used by Chinese to send messages, make payments or even rent a bicycle.

The new app will also be seen as a small game or a contest among users where those who read more news will be identified as lying.

The application will also alert users whether the news they are sending is correct or not.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China is making "initial" preparations to send humans to the moon, the latest target of China's ambitious moon exploration program, a senior Chinese space official said on Monday.

In 2003, China became the third country to send a man into space with its own missile after the former Soviet Union and the United States.

China is also planning to send the first probe of the dark side of the moon in 2018, another big step.

"It will not take long to get official approval and funding," Yang Liwei, deputy director-general of China's manned space agency and China's first astronaut, was quoted by Xinhua news agency as saying.

The IAEA report did not give further details, but such a trip could take years before it starts.
