Haines Morris (Shanghai) Commercial Co., Ltd., the company that operates H&M’s official website, corrected the error immediately after receiving the notice. The Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau and the Municipal Internet Information Office also corrected the error. A joint interview was held. During the interview, the two departments seriously pointed out the illegal facts of the company and ordered it to operate the network in accordance with the law. It must conscientiously study the “Cybersecurity Law of the People’s Republic of China”, “Surveying and Mapping Law of the People’s Republic of China”, “Map Management Regulations” and other laws and regulations, and establish a solid Awareness of national territory, truly “there is nothing wrong with standardizing the use of maps.” The two departments requested and made it clear that the main person in charge of the enterprise will take the lead in the follow-up rectification work and implement the main responsibility of website content management; the management department will carry out supervision and inspection in the future. The company said it accepted the admonishment from the management department and would implement rectifications.
Shanghai Internet Information Office and Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau remind website platform operators that they must carefully study relevant laws and regulations when posting and using maps, and use A map that correctly represents the territory of a country. Specifically, you can log in to the standard map service links on the official website of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the official website of the Shanghai Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau to browse and download China and world maps for free.
As for the online “problem map”, we continue to welcome netizens to report truthfully and jointly maintain a good online ecology.
CCTV commented on HM’s scar getting into trouble again
Yesterday, @CCTV News commented: H&M was interviewed because of the problematic map on its official website. The scar was not healed and it got into trouble again. Which one was H&M talking about? Correcting mistakes is only the first step. You must not correct them again after you make them, or make them again after you correct them. I would like to warn companies such as H&M not to break through the bottom line, touch the red line, or challenge the high-voltage line. Chinese people are hospitable, but do not welcome companies that offend their core interests. Because: The map of China cannot be wrong at all! There is no shortage of Chinese territory!
