The Ministry of Public Security in China is launching a six-month campaign to crackdown on cyber strip shows and sexually explicit images, stories and audio and video clips. The communist government encourages Internet use for education and business but tries to block access to material considered obscene or subversive. In China's biggest online porn case to date, Web site operator Chen Hui was sentenced in November to life in prison. The government said Chen's Web site had more than 9 million pornographic images and more than 600,000 registered users. China has the world's second-biggest population of Internet users after the United States, with 137 million people online.
"The boom of pornographic content on the Internet has contaminated cyberspace and perverted China's young minds," Zhang Xinfeng, a deputy public security minister, was quoted as saying Thursday. The campaign also will target illegal online lotteries and contraband trade, fraud and "content that spreads rumors and is of a slanderous nature. The inflow of pornographic materials from abroad and lax domestic control are to blame for the existing problems in China's cyberspace," Zhang said at a news conference.

Yeah they will all move their business to the UK and run illegal strip clubs that show porno on the net.
Thanks a bunch China.
A quote from the Chinese premier, 'it does not matter if the cat is black or white as long as it catches a mouse'.
Double Entendres there I see.
The existing problems in China's cyberspace and China itself are the government. No use in blaming thier own communistic sh*t on others.
Ayup.
To celebrate my freedoms as an American, I'm going to go and look at some porn.
I think, one day they will say exactly the same about communistic content on the Internet.
So to show human killing and put people into jail for ideas is OK, but to show action which creates lives is banned. What a moral perverts with twisted and sick values.
