China’s Public Security Ministry launched a crackdown on Internet pornography last year, saying it had ‘perverted China’s young minds.’
Nearly 2,000 people involved in Internet pornography activities also were penalized.
Separately, Xinhua News Agency said 33 people were arrested in connection with a Web site that allowed customers, mainly in Taiwan, to view live sex shows filmed at 12 separate locations in the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai. In the raid cash, computers and film equipment were seized.
China’s online population has soared to 210 million and could surpass the U.S. this year to become the world’s biggest.
