From this year, new electronic（电子的） cards will take the place of the plastic identity cards （ID cards） which are carried by all the Chinese citizens over 16.

The new ID card has a microchip（微芯片）. Personal（个人的） information will be locked into the card so that people won’t be able to use false identities.

China’s plastic ID cards came into use 18 years ago, and a similar system（相似的系统） is used in many other countries. However, the information on a card is different from nation to nation. Most ID cards show the holder’s name, sex, date of birth and photo, as well as his or her number.

Germany, France and Spain all use ID cards, but some nations don’t like the idea, such as the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Britain. They have no national ID cards. However, some of the countries have ID cards for special uses. For example, Australia and the USA use a driving license to identify people.

ID cards are carried for many reasons. Now the USA, Britain and some other countries are considering a national ID system as a way of preventing possible terrorist attacks（恐怖袭击）.
