China bans opening new Internet cafes
By
In stark contrast to the previous post claiming 3,000 new internet cafes are planned by Unicom over at MSNBC it seems that CNN is reporting that China is banning any new net cafes. According to CNN and the AP, China will not allow any new Internet cafes to open this year. I’m not sure which report to go with, so here are both!
Xinhua News Agency said 14 government departments, including the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Information Industry, had issued a notice saying that “in 2007, local governments must not sanction the opening of new Internet bars.” It said there are about 113,000 Internet cafes in China. Many are smoke-filled rooms with rows of computers set up for online gaming.
