The Cyberspace Administration of China announced Methods for Identifying Synthetic Content Generated by Artificial Intelligence on 7 March 2025 at the link below:

These methods will be in force on 1 September 2025. The machine English translation of these methods should be readily accessible.

Essentially, these methods requireanycontent generated by AI to be properly labelled, main points to note (in my view) as below:

• The contents include text, images, audio, video, and virtual scenes (article 3).
• The label could be explicit or implicit (Article 3).
• Explicit labels are required for text, images, audio, video, and virtual scene, with specific requirements like at the start of a video.
