Cyberbullying struggle prioritized

Recent tragedies caused by cyberbullying have not only aroused massive public outrage, but also prompted national lawmakers and political advisers to call for legislation to remedy the problem.

Having tracked trolls and bullies in cyberspace for a couple of years, Li Dongsheng, a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, the country's top legislature, said that he will submit a suggestion on formulating a law to specialize in dealing with the cyberbullying problem to the first session of the 14th NPC, which is scheduled to open in Beijing on Sunday.

Although China has seen some achievements in the fight against cyberbullying since it first became a contentious issue, such incidents continue to take place.
