No more porn in China
According to Ars Technica, 221 people and over 600 web sites have been shut down for distributing pornographic or obscene materials. Yes, Chinese porn is a booming business, and one that the government is not willing to support, even tacitly.
The best place to look for information on the XXX adult industry in China is probably Asian Sex Gazette. Apparently, the government has been banning adult keywords from major Chinese search engines:
Baidu chief Bi Sheng told the Chinese state news agency Xinhua that barring the 40,000 keywords is good for blocking about 500,000 porn pages.
The Internet Society of China has recently issued a proclaimation that bars search engines from linking to, archiving, or associating with pornographic or inappropriate content. According to Cai Ming, deputy director of the State Council Information Office, the pact is a self-discipline agreement. Most search engines seem to be complying.
Does this mean that China has no demand for adult materials? With nude lovers’ photos, sex education BBS, and Chinese sex bloggers, it seems as if China has the same fascination with the sexual that America has. Bloggers proclaim the superiority of the Chinese sex drive. Even the government’s response to Chinese sex online should be an indication of the adult enterntainment boom in China–why hunt down something unless there’s popular demand?
I’ll leave you with the following quote:
It has just recently announced that recent research shows 80% of people in Beijing are now having premarital sex. Twenty-two years ago that number was only 15%.

[…] Goes to show how China’s sexually conservative culture prevails even in the internet, in light of the crackdown on Chinese sex bloggers and porn early this year. […]

And this, too, shall pass. You can take the boy off the farm, but, you can’t take the farm out of the boy. Ultimately, this type of action will have no effect. Just as the war on drugs has yielded nothing, this will yield nothing. The reasons are identical. People have been obsessed with getting loaded and with fucking and sucking since the beginning of time and most likely will stay that way forever
