The Chinese government has blocked around 18,401 websites in the country because of the adult material published on them.
According to the Shanghai Daily, 9,593 unregistered websites were already shut down while 8,808 pages were removed due to "pornographic, illicit or fraudulent pictures."
"The campaign also required major Chinese portals, including sina.com, sohu.com, 163.com and qq.com, to conduct self-examinations and shut down problematic channels,"The Shanghai Daily added.
Chinese officials recently took the decision to publish two virtual police officers on the most popular portals of the country to remind visitors that they are not allowed to search or access any kind of prohibited material.
