16,000 Internet Cafes Closed In China


Over the last three months, the Chinese government has closed 16,000 internet cafes, following a campaign in the country aimed at protecting children and adolescents from corrosive influences. The closures have been reported by state media.

The reports show that drive holds a lot more influence that was initially thought. Last month, the Xinuha news agency reported that almost 9,000 cafes had been closed since February. All of them were unlicensed.
