Chinese Police Seize Book on Erotic Websites

Chinese police have for the first time confiscated certain volumes of "Special Websites," a book specializing in listing erotic websites, the Ministry of Public Security disclosed Tuesday.

The 191-page book contains more than 400 erotic websites in 24 categories, with detailed captions and pornographic pictures attached to each website.

The book was recently found on sale in some bookstores in Kunming and Dali, two scenic cities in Yunnan Province, southwest China, the ministry said.

Statistics show that by the end of June, China had registered 16.9 million web users, nearly doubling the figure a year earlier.

Cracking down on the publication and trading of ornographic books is one of the targets of the ongoing nationwide campaign against prostitution, gambling, and narcotics trade, which was kicked off on July 1 of this year.
