Acts such as threatening others' personal safety, publicly insulting or defaming individuals, making false accusations, harassing or stalking others, or invading privacy may result in up to 10 days of detention and fines of up to 1,000 yuan ($144). More severe cases will be subject to heavier penalties.
Those who use abusive language and cause serious consequences for others will face a maximum prison term of three years under revisions to China's Criminal Law.
