authority to punish a company 5,000 yuan (US$627.51) for sending junk e-mails,
People's Daily reported today.
A Shenzhen company, which runs a Website (www.companystudy.com), began sending junk
e-mails, containing commercial advertisements, from January of this year by
collecting e-mail addresses from the Internet.
The administration carried out an investigation after receiving complaints
from Internet users and ordered the company to stop sending the e-mail
ads.
