Chinese officials said that over the last five months, the government has shut down at least 140,000 mobile WAP sites offering pornography.

Zhou Huilin, deputy director of the national office against pornographic and illegal publication, said that "in the next stage, we'll target serious criminal activity related to porn mobile WAP sites with servers overseas, as many such sites were moving their servers overseas to avoid supervision."

As part of China's latest efforts to curb porn, a judicial interpretation issued last month further clarified that production, replication, publication, sale and spread of obscene electronic information (video) targeted at minors aged under 14 via internet or mobile WAP sites was a crime.
