HONG KONG, Aug 10 (Reuters) - China cyberspace regulator issued a set of guidelines on Thursday targeting offensive comments against businesses on social media as Beijing seeks to improve the business environment.

The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said that online platforms should focus on addressing false and misleading information about businesses online. Offensive comments aimed at entrepreneurs and disclosure of private information about people on the internet should also be addressed. (Reporting by Josh Ye; Editing by Jacqueline Wong)
