This post comes from Asia Media staff writer Melissa Wang. "Last Sunday, China's Education Ministry condemned several school websites for using porn to make money. The ministry described the profits from these Internet sites as "unlawful" and said that the pornographic materials will influence and pervert students.
As part of its crack down on illegal online activities, the Education Ministry's website will allow the public to report on schools with pornographic materials. The ministry is also drafting a guideline for campus web services, according to state media Xinhua. Vice-minister of education Li Weihong called on college professors to become Internet experts in order to monitor their students' online activities as well.
In April, the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) along with nine other governmental departments launched a six-month campaign to end the distribution of pornographic materials and organization of cyber strip shows, among other illegal online practices.
According to MPS, as of mid-May, the Chinese police had cracked 244 cases and detained 270 suspects involved in online pornography. Approximately 1000,000 college students have also made online pledges to say no to pornographic websites."
