BEIJING - China's police ministry on Sunday handed out rewards of up to $240 to people who reported pornographic Web sites in a campaign to stamp out online smut, the government said.
Some 445 people have been arrested and 1,125 Web sites shut down with the help of public tips since July, the official Xinhua News Agency reported, citing the Ministry of Public Security.
The ministry handed out rewards of $60 to $240, Xinhua said, but it didn't say how many people received them.
China encourages Internet use for education and business but bans sexually oriented content on its own Web sites and tries to block access to foreign sites deemed pornographic or subversive.
The online crackdown is part of a sweeping official morality campaign launched this year on orders from communist leaders.
Television stations, video game makers and other suppliers of popular culture have been ordered to reduce or eliminate violent or sexually oriented content.

I would just love to hear just one western intellectual leftist reconcile(or condemn?!?) this act of extreme, blatant censorship that is occuring within the utopian State of China.

If they pay for info on foreign websites, this should bankrupt China in no time flat.

Gotta love it. A godless money-worshipping society that doesn't even pay heed to Mao anymore trying to legislate morality.

There are folks on this very forum who advocate the same thing here. And they consider themselves to be "conservatives."

You have got to be kidding?
This is the country who aborts most all the females born in the last 20 years.
We should just refer to them as "the mad whackers"

If you think the Chinese have a "core of morality" you are seriously deluded. They recognize porn for what it is. I suppose that makes them more moral than some Americans.

We should just refer to them as "the mad whackers" Lets see: No Women & No Porn. I'll bet they'll experience something like what happens in prison where men are denied access to the opposite sex.
To: Constitution Day
Communists forbid pornography in the countries they rule because they know it is a destructive disease. They only promote it in nations they wish to overthrow and cultures they wish to corrupt.
Stupid liberal dupes always fight against their own nation's "fascist jackboots", utterly unaware that they are doing everything they can to usher in a Communist tyranny which abhors all freedom.
