| China to ban online impersonation accounts, enforce real-name registration |
|
 China will ban from March 1 internet accounts that impersonate people or organisations, and enforce the requirement that people use real names when registering accounts online, its internet watchdog said on Wednesday. China has repeatedly made attempts to require internet users to register for online accounts using their real names, although with mixed success. The ban on impersonations includes accounts that purport to be government bodies, such as China's anti-corruption agency and news organisations like the People's Daily state newspaper, as well as accounts that impersonate foreign leaders, such as U.S. President Barack Obama and Russia's Vladimir Putin, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said on its website.

| Jordan hangs two Iraqi militants in response to pilot's death |
|
 By Suleiman Al-Khalidi AMMAN (Reuters) - Jordan hanged two Iraqi jihadists on Wednesday including a female militant in response to an Islamic State video showing a captured Jordanian pilot being burnt alive by the hardline group. Islamic State had demanded the release of the woman, Sajida al-Rishawi, in exchange for a Japanese hostage whom it later beheaded. Sentenced to death for her role in a 2005 suicide bomb attack in Amman, Rishawi was executed at dawn, a security source and state television said. Jordan, which is part of the U.S.-led alliance against Islamic State, has promised an "earth-shaking response" to the killing of its pilot, Muath al-Kasaesbeh, who was captured in December when his F-16 crashed over northeastern Syria.

| China rebukes Norway for expelling scholar |
|
| China rebuked Norway on Wednesday for "violating the rights" of a Chinese scholar who was expelled from the country, in the latest friction that could strain ties already tense over a Nobel Peace Prize for a Chinese dissident. Norwegian police had ordered the Chinese doctorate student working at the University of Agder to leave Norway before Jan. 23, state news agency Xinhua said late on Tuesday. China has raised the issue with Norway, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a daily news briefing. "It also undermines Norway's academic image." Hong declined to respond directly when asked if the student was a spy, but called on Norway to "safeguard the legitimate rights of the relevant Chinese scholars and their academic freedoms". |
