Social networks have begun to set the agenda of public opinion and affected public emotions in some incidents, such as the high-speed train crash near Wenzhou, in east China's Zhejiang Province, in July last year, the report said.

社交网络已经开始为公众意见设置议程并在一些事件中影响公众情绪，如去年7月中国东部的浙江省温州的动车坠毁事故，该报告称。

Governments have realized the influence of social networks and put more effort in working with them, it said.

报告说各国政府已经意识到社交网络的影响力，并投入更多精力与之合作。

Research by the report's authors from July to December last year showed that the authorities responded to about 71.9 percent of issues that were widely discussed by microbloggers and 50.4 percent were within 24 hours.

该报告的作者去年七月至十二月研究表明，官方回应了约71.9％的被微博用户广泛讨论的问题，50.4％的问题在24小时内得到了回应。

However, the report warned that legislation related to new media has lagged behind their development. There is still no law specializing on the Internet and many related articles in existing laws need revision, it added.

然而，该报告提醒说，与新媒体相关的立法已经落后于他们的发展。它补充说，目前还没有关于互联网的专门法律，而且在现有法律方面的很多相关文章需要修订。
