| "For The Children (TM)" ..."While continuing to support the crackdown on pornographic websites, the reporting centre will make it a priority to target illegal websites on gambling, fraud and superstition," it said. China often uses the word "superstition" to refer to religions. People are allowed to worship in state-sanctioned churches and temples but authorities regularly crackdown on groups outside of the government's control.

Just think HALF A CHILD FOR US! |

| #3 Now if only they'd shut down the 1,287,000,000 open (spam) relays. And all those scammers. I remember being the intended victim of a China-originated phishing expedition via an e-mail from Citibank asking me to update my non-existent account. :) |

| #2 # 1 you are correct on spam relays. "Harmful information" is subjective to many individuals. China needs all the help it can get in complying with the one child per family ruling. There is plenty of prostitution happening there- they don't need to see it in T.V., websites. And yes, the government controls religion. Their theology is very differnt from ours in the U.S. Andrea Jackson |
