The anti-pornography campaign launched by the Government of the Communist Party of China (CCP) against the major Chinese portals, including Google and Baidu, has resulted in the closure of 726 web since January 5.


In a communique issued today, the Bureau of Special Operations Tackling lewd and Porno Content on the Internet, reported that one third of the web were not registered and violated Chinese laws on sexual content distribution.


The campaign, one month, was launched by the Public Security Bureau (police), the Executive, the Ministry of Culture and four other government agencies.


China is already the largest Internet market in the world, with nearly 300 million users, ahead of the U.S., but the CCP regime is also one of the censors of the planet, according to reports from NGOs such as Reporters Without Borders (RSF) or Human Rights Watch (HRW).


The campaign "anti-porn" coincides with another policy that are being arrested activists and dissidents of the regime to avoid any protest in a year of anniversaries: the 50th anniversary of the Tibetan revolt against Chinese occupation, the Wall 30 years Democracy, and 20 years of the Tiananmen protests.


The latter is one of the hundreds of campaigns that the Chinese government has launched since the network moved into the Asian country in 1996.
