Chinese authorities revoked the licenses of six Internet Web sites and temporarily shut down 12 others during a 90-day city-wide crackdown, state press, quoted in an AFP report said.

The AFP report, quoting the Beijing Evening News, said more than 858,000 yuan ($107,000) in fines have been collected from 35 Web sites and Internet service providers who allegedly violated Beijing regulations.

Names of the Web sites and the details of their Internet content were not given, the report said.

Among over 1,700 Internet cafes inspected, 30 'black' Internet cafes were also shut down and 446 computers confiscated, the paper said.

In March this year, the capital launched a campaign to clean up 'unhealthy content' on Beijing-based Web sites and to bar those thought to be accessing such material from the city's Internet cafes, the report further said.
