The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced on Monday that 100% of phone users in China will be registered under the real-name registration system by June 30, 2017.
There are 100 million unregistered users must who must register correctly before the date. Failure do so will result in their service being cut off. Foreigners must register using a passport.
China’s three major telecom providers make already new users register with real-name registration. The issue comes from old users that registered before the policy was in place. In the past three years, telecom providers have registered 300 million new users using real-name registration.

This was supposed to happen 2-3 years ago. What's taking them so long? Easiest way would be to cut off the unregistered users, forcing tjem to register.
