China — Regulations on the Protection of Minors Online (未成年人网络保护条例)
State Council Decree No. 766 (2023) — China's dedicated minors-online regulation (60 articles), layering minors-specific duties on PIPL and the CSL. For an EdTech platform used by Chinese children this is the operational rulebook.
Statute text is Chinese (the authentic language); this README is curation.
Applicability to EdTech
- Strict data minimisation for minors (第三十二条): no forced consent to non-necessary collection, no service denial for refusing it.
- Rights handling rules (第三十四条): access/copy/correction/deletion requests from minors or guardians follow prescribed handling duties and deadlines.
- Breach response (第三十五条): immediate incident-plan activation, remediation, and notification of guardians and authorities where harm may result.
- Annual compliance audit (第三十七条): processors of minors' personal information must audit their compliance every year (self or external) and report to the internet-information authority — a recurring obligation to budget for in a Chinese deployment.
- Anti-addiction duty (第四十二条): product design must not induce minors' addiction; addiction-prone content/functions must be adjusted. Time/consumption caps in 第四十三–四十七条 target games/livestreaming/social products (scope-noted, not extracted).

Licence
The corpus reproduces selected articles of the 未成年人网络保护条例, a State Council regulation (行政法规), from the CAC's official full-text page.
Chinese copyright law does not apply to laws and regulations. 《中华人民共和国著作权法》第五条 (中国政府网 — 中华人民共和国著作权法, read 2026-10-01) provides: "本法不适用于： （一）法律、法规，国家机关的决议、决定、命令和其他具有立法、行政、司法性质的文件，及其官方正式译文；"
The CAC pages carry the site-wide footer "© 版权所有". That notice covers the website; it cannot create copyright in a text that 第五条 excludes, and the CAC publishes no terms that restrict reuse of the legislation it republishes.
Conditions: none attach to the statute text, because no copyright subsists in it. The corpus still identifies its source: each fact document names its source in its opening citation line and in its Meta section, and Sources here links the official text (the CAC). The changes (the selection of provisions, the Markdown layout and the added anchors) are described in Meta. The corpus does not claim that the publisher endorses it, and only the officially promulgated text is authentic.
