China Daily posed the foreign users' questions to Tong Liqiang, deputy director of Beijing's Internet Information Office. He said they are studying the real-name registration for foreign accounts now, but refused to give more details.
Meanwhile, employees responsible for weibo service from Sohu said they so far have no specific solutions to verify foreign users.
In addition, potential users who choose "overseas" as their location when registering a weibo account, as well as those who are already "based overseas", may continue posting and forwarding micro blogs with existing identities - a situation that is also not explained by the websites.
At last count, there were 8 million blog accounts "based overseas", according to figures supplied by Sina.com.
"What we can do is to urge the websites to push for the real-name registration and hope they can encourage their weibo users to use their real identities before the deadline," Tong added.
Liu Xinzhi, an officer in charge of Sohu Weibo, said they have provided cards for watching videos on the website and rechargeable phone cards as rewards for those who use real identities.
Sohu is asking weibo users who registered before Dec 16 to verify their identifies, Liu said.
NetEase has also designed an online center to verify weibo users' identities since Feb 1.
In carrying out the real-name registration, Sina.com has reportedly given "real identity" icons to users who provide their real names and ID card numbers after verifying the information with public security organs.
