China already mandates AI video labeling and banned consumer voice cloning to curb fraud

Blogger akarvonen highlights China's existing deepfake regulations:
- AI-generated videos must be labeled, which the author says is ahead of what platforms like X require in the West
- Consumer voice-cloning tech has been banned to prevent fraud (search: doubao ban), a move that also killed off several popular domestic consumer apps
The author was surprised by these rules and expects China to keep taking pragmatic steps on AI regulation.
