BEIJING, CHINA (BNO NEWS) -- The Chinese government on Wednesday said it had closed down over 60,000 pornographic websites in the first 11 months of the year, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

During a press conference, China's director of the Information Office of the State Council Wang Chen said the country had eliminated around 350 million pornographic material, as well as indecent Internet content, such as texts, images and videos.

Since December 2009, China launched a nationwide campaign to increase Internet security and remove its pornographic and vulgar content. The campaign has led to the investigation of 2,197 criminal cases and the punishment of 4,965 criminals. As a result, some 58 offenders have been sentenced to prison terms of over five years.

Blocking porn sites is an excellent profession for those seeking job security.

These sites were probably using random unnecessary English words when they should have translated everything into culturally pure Chinese.

Must be a lot of sexully frustrated 14 year old boys walking around China. What a horrible event to be denied an opportunity to stare at "woman woman in delicate undergarments showing swollen flesh of chest"

This is one story where some illustrations would have helped.

And 24, 34, 44, 54 and 64 and maybe even 74 year old frustrated boys and men.

Yet many Chines hotels throughout the country run fishbowls and escorts - so maybe they think it better to have the porn on tap rather than the cheapie websites offering free tours!
