I see no reason to register one's real name. This is taking things a bit too far. Part of online surity requires one to keep some things private in order to protect oneself and family from possible identity theft.
It is safer and more secure for users of micro-blogs to use a screen-name (which is standard usage and netiquette by web tradition).
The government should require users to remain anonymous in order to help protect and secure sites like Weibo from possible exploitation, unless the individual user wishes to provide his or her full name.

China is in transition right now. Leaders are beginning to understand citizens' rights in new ways. Evidence of this is being seen daily. Yes, there are still some in government that want to take the hard line of a backward and bygone era of tyranny. But I do not think it is even a practical move for security. The security and freedom of government is based upon the security and liberty of every individual citizen. It is even in the Chinese constitution that Chinese citizens 'enjoy freedom of speech' and this is true even in an online context where micro-blog users can be anonymous to protect themselves from online predators and identity thieves while being free to express themselves in every way and their complements or critiques of government protected under the Chinese constitution.
I think the intelligentsia among the CCP understand this and will appreciate anything input from citizen's that can make China a more prosperous and freer nation. I do not think they want to gain the reputation in the world for being backward, tyrannical, or pre-modern. It's the 21st century, and there are great new possibilities for individualist Chinese expression through micro-blogging and other outlets. It's an exciting time in China and the Chinese know it. It is truly a people's revolution. The dream will come true.
Go China! God bless the motherland.

<quoted text>It sounds to me like you might be advocating democracy. That is NOT the way to a long and prospreous life there. The reason the government wants the registration is so they CAN know who is suborning sedition. That's my way of saying asking for a say in your future. I hope you're old enough to remember that your country has a really bad track record when it comes to understanding what the people think they want. I wish you good luck and I hope the changes you expect come to fruition.

<quoted text>Kind of good. Real name registration is an invitation to late night visits by your friendly neighborhood goon squad.

You mean the police when you break the law? Its about responsibility and accountability when one can no longer hide behind anonymity, where individual behavior are drastically different. It'll be like the celebrity online blogs where everyone is a celebrity.

<quoted text>Yep. I am all for people trying to revolt from under an oppressive regime. I just think that the generals are WAY to willing to murder innocents to keep control of the reins.

I'm all for it too, as long as you do the work.

Lol. Repressive enough that "generals are WAY to willing to murder innocents to keep control of the reins".

Actually, it's your opinion that Beijing doesn't care about. Chinese public opinion is sampled and responded to such as when the government decided to increase personal tax allowances. The survey told them that they needed to increase the allowances even more and the government responded in the public's favour.
