Web porn clamp proves effective

CHINA has shut 16,000 more Websites found to contain lewd or pornographic content as of Wednesday during the latest crackdown.

Statistics from the International Communication Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee show that, since the crackdown was launched last December, more than 850,000 pictures and 1.3 million messages with lewd or pornographic content were deleted.

More than 30 online novels and 15 mobile phone games were also halted.

An official with the office said the campaign made significant breakthroughs in striking the profit chains for porn Websites as lewd content on the Internet in the country was obviously reduced and the tendency of spreading such information through cell phones was being kept under control.
