In order to keep
pornography and violence out of China's budding
online casino gambling industry, a massive
crack-down against gaming companies that post or
condone pornography or violence on their online
casino sites is under way.
This crusade to seek out
violators will be intense until at least
September. This new fight against improper
content started back in April, and the country
has reiterated that it means business.
Because online
casino gambling is taking off so quickly in
China, they wanrt to keep an eye on the actual
content that is being put on the thousands of
new online casino websites.
The
Ministry of Culture is the department that
standardizes online casino games in China.
The
Ministry states that while it is all for new
positive economic growth, it will not tolerate
violence and pornography online. Too many young
veiwers online make this a new priority to clean
things up.
The Ministry blames
imported games to be the main cause for this new
issue.
Last Year, China launched
a similar crack-down,but it was not as wide a
sweep as this latest dragnet.
While some feel that the sweep is being taken as
a possible cover up for China to be able to
weed-out competing game sites that are from
other countries, some also feel that this
campaign is not just aimed at sites that are
from other competing countries.
