China Closes 1,129 Web Sites

"The related departments have closed 1,278 illegal web sites and 114 sites promoting gambling, superstitious activities and cult propaganda according to the information provided by the informers. ... China's Ministry of Public Security rewarded a number of informers since China launched a nationwide campaign to crack downon the illegal on-line operations."

"...China's Ministry of Public Security..."

Sounds suspiciously like the "Ministry of Truth" from to me....

It doesnt matter what China does

Monty Python said the Chinese were nice, and I quote

"I like Chinese,
I like Chinese,
They only come up to your knees"

So that made it official. We like Chinese.

can we get them to shut down the spammers?

many spamming websites are hosted in china.
while they are turning off the spigot to squelch dissent, can we please get them to turn off the spam too?
