China announce tough entertainment rules
14/02/2006 - 15:08:00China today announced tough new regulations banning teenagers from internet cafes and karaoke bars, stepping up a campaign to enforce public morality amid official concerns about drugs, gambling and prostitution.
The new guidelines will bar the venues from using “audio and video products and electronic games” that “harm national security and incite hatred toward other nationalities,” the official Xinhua News Agency said, citing China’s Cabinet.
The regulations prohibit venues like dance halls from having walled-in booths without transparent doors or windows, said the People’s Daily newspaper, mouthpiece of the ruling Communist Party.
