China nabs 5,400 people in online porn crackdown

Wonder what the punishment is for surfing porn in China? Firing squad?

Live long enough and you'll probably find out, since at the rate we and the Americans are selling out, they'll soon be our masters.

Internet pornography was outlawed in the People's Republic of China effective 2002, when state censors issued guidelines requiring all websites remove any pornographic material. Enforcement is strict and the laws are inflexible, with the government stance being hard-line opposition to pornography. The government started a crackdown in 2004, which included the jailing of a woman.

Since 2008, the production of pornographic movies has been banned by state censors, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's prohibition on pornography has been complete, and the government has shown no signs of changing course. Directors, producers, and actors involved in pornographic movies have been barred from competing in any film competitions. Any movie studio found in violation may have its license revoked. As a result of this regulation and censorship, adult films and media can only obtained through the Internet and on the black market. Possession of pornography is punishable by up to 3 years in prison, a fine of 20,000 yuan, or even execution for large underground distributors.
