BEIJING -- Chinese police authorities shut down more than 320 illegal web
sites and Internet columns and deleted 15,000 items of hazardous information
from Internet from September 6 to 8.
An official with the Ministry of Public Security said the closed websites
include those which disseminate gambling information or run gambles, or sell
guns, explosives, listening-in devices and anaesthetics or conduct on-line
cheating and theft.
The official said recently a large number of websites selling guns,
explosives, bugs, narcotics, disseminating gambling information and stealing
on-line deposits emerged in China, threatening citizen's personal property and
ruined Internet atmosphere.
He said police authorities will intensify efforts to purify Internet
atmosphere in future.
The Ministry of Public Security on Friday publicized a web site (www.
cyberpolice. cn) for citizens to report clues on hazardous web sites and harmful
Internet information.
