The campaign, targeting content in online novels that spread improper values, vulgarity or obscenity as well as those involving copyright infringement, included measures such as relevant websites’ self-checks, authorities’ inspections and criminal investigations, the statement said.
Such measures will be intensified in the future to ensure a healthy and clean online literature environment, said the report.
