国内新闻：Repoters take action against bogus union website

The website -- www.acja.cn -- runs genuine news industry information and links, as well as the emblem of the All-China Journalists Association (ACJA), the ACJA announced in Beijing Wednesday.

"The fake website claims it is the website of the ACJA and uses the emblem of ACJA on their website," Gu Yonghua, ACJA party secretary said.

"Under the name of ACJA, it even runs recruitment advertisements, carries advertisements and operates other business," Gu said.

The fake website uses the abbreviation of the ACJA''''s English name as its domain name, while the genuine official website of the ACJA -- www.zgjx.cn -- uses the abbreviation of the Pinyin, phonetic Chinese name.

"The fake website has several unhealthy links that impair the reputation of ACJA," claimed Gu.

"The website has infringed on the rights of the ACJA," Gu said, warning Internet users to avoid the bogus site.

The ACJA, formerly the China Youth Journalists Association, was founded in Shanghai on Nov. 8, 1937. The association, as a national association for Chinese journalists, has 223 local association members representing750,000 Chinese journalists.

The genuine website for the ACJA was just opened in February.

The fake website carries the claim that it opened 10 years ago and is planning to go public. It is linked to several media websites, including The People''s Daily and the Washington Post. Search engines like Google and Baidu are also on its webpage.

However, the server and operators of the website are still unknown, sources with ACJA said.

The ACJA was contacting the Ministry of Information Industry and other government agencies to identify the operators and servers and would take legal action against the website if necessary, said ACJA sources.
