Internet smut thwarted

China shut down or blocked more than 140,000 mobile WAP sites offering pornography for phone users in a five-month crackdown, an official said yesterday.

Zhou Huilin, deputy director of the national office against pornographic and illegal publications, said the move had "clearly cleansed the Internet environment."

"In the next stage, we'll target serious criminal activity related to porn mobile WAP sites with servers overseas, as many such sites are moving their servers overseas to avoid supervision," he said.

China stepped up its war against Internet pornography in the campaign, which was launched in August last year.

More than 150,000 items of lewd content have been deleted or blocked on the Internet in Beijing alone.
