The Chinese government, who began a nationwide crackdown on undesired websites this July, have reported that they have closed 1,129 pornographic web sites since beginning the crackdown. According to the Internet Society of China (ISC), since the www.china.cn site was opened it has received 95,000 reports of pornographic and other illegal web sites. Related departments have closed 1,278 illegal web sites and 114 sites promoting gambling, superstitious activities and cult propaganda. The Chinese government will now shift its attention more fully onto illegal gambling and superstitious sites.
