China Makes Arrests To Stop Internet Porn 204
thefickler writes "The Chinese Government is expanding a crackdown on Internet pornography. Xinhua news agency, which is owned by the government and can safely be used for reporting in China, says the campaign to scrub the country's Internet of 'vulgar' content has so far resulted in 29 criminal cases. Police have ordered the removal of 46,000 pornographic and other 'harmful' items from websites. The latest crackdown comes after official warnings of rising social unrest as the economy slows. It's no coincidence that this year is the twentieth anniversary of Tiananmen Square, or, to use the acceptable nomenclature, 'the June 4th incident.'"

Considering their overpopulation problem do they really want to discourage wanking? This seems very counter-productive to me.

Imagine if they did that in our countries? You would feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Slashdotters cried out in anger and considered stepping outside of their home to do something about it.

Chinese porn stars have a habit of yelling out antigovernment slogans as they finish. Sounds weird to us, but consider some of the foul words they use in American porn, it's not that strange.

The Chinese government is obviously correct, right, accurate, faultless, unerring, precise, exact, and correct. The Chinese government is the most noble organization of any kind in the world and is made up entirely of honorable, worthy, reputable, and decent individuals who have the best interests of the country at heart. It is horrible that any harmful content is allowed to exist and as such it should be removed. The Chinese government is correct in this just as it is correct in every decision it makes. The Chinese government is perfect and praiseworthy. This story makes just one more example of why the Chinese government is the best in the world and why China is the best place to live in the world.

Perhaps internet porn is devaluing their pin up calendar?

Maybe they do. I've never watched a porn film through to the end.

They can't leave something in the hands of people (no pun :) over which they don't have control.
well, they could at least have the common courtesy to give them a reach-around then...

I don't know what's scarier - his wanking practices being marked "informative" or the fact that his name is "SQuiRT".
