Chinese authorities closed 12,575 net cafes in the closing months of 2004, the country’s government said.
According to the official news agency most of the net cafes were closed down because they were operating illegally.
Illegal? What are some of the Chinese regulations on net cafes?
- Can’t be within 200 meters of an elementary school
- Strict rules on times of usage for children
- Control the content people are surfing
- Log all visited web sites
Should I also mention that the Chinese government has complete control of what the World Wide Web shows people in China. I bet you can’t even get to this web site in China.
The 12,575 cafes were shut in the three months from October to December.
