And this contradict the sentence above it. After reading section 5.1.5 of General Rules for Punctuation (GB/T 15834―2011), I think it means two **Chinese** horizontal ellipses, i.e. twelve dots. The "twelve dots" form is often used for omission of lines in poetry, or omission of paragraph(s). Therefore, this rule doesn't really contradict with the sentence above the rule.
