Chinese government shuts down Internet Cafes
Chinese authorities shut down 12,575 Internet cafes from October to December last year for operating illegally, most of them near schools, the government says.

The crackdown was aimed at creating a "safer environment for young people in China," the official Xinhua News Agency said Sunday. It didn't give any details of the violations, but said the businesses closed "were mainly located nearby primary schools and middle schools."

China promotes Internet use for business and education, but communist authorities complain that Internet cafes are harming public morality by giving children access to violent games and sexually explicit material.

But the government controls what the Chinese public can see online and blocks access to Web sites deemed pornographic or subversive. Internet cafes are banned near schools and the hours that children can use them are restricted.

China has the world's second-largest population of Internet users after the United States, with 87 million people online.
