Chinese pornographic websites: Judgment Day (Xinhua) Updated: 2004-06-14 21:45
Several Chinese websites that carry pornographic materials have been closed
in the last few days, and others will meet the same fate in the near future.
China started a special website, net.China.cn., on June 10 for people to report illegal and
unhealthy online information.
Named the China Reporting Center of Illegal and Unhealthy Information, the
website has so far received 1,344 complaints about pornographic materials on
certain websites and transferred them to law enforcement departments.
Law enforcement departments have since closed five pornographic sites and
ordered one to close in two days. Four Beijing-based websites have voluntarily
deleted pornographic materials after being informed by the center, according to
a notice issued by the reporting center.
People, especially parents, generally applauded the opening of the website.
"It's good for fostering a healthy environment for the growth of our kids,"
said a netizen.
The website is established by the Work Committee of the Internet News
Information Service under the Internet Society of China.
