China: Child Pornographer Arrested
It's not that I have any particular affinity for writing about China.
What happens in Southwestern China usually doesn't cross my mind.
But then there's this.
From China Daily:
Local police have detained a man in southwest China suspected of disseminating pornographic information involving children on the internet, the Ministry of Public Security has said. Police in Nanning, capital city of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, cracked the website run by a man surnamed Liu on June 10.Liu is accused of posting more than 30,000 porn items on his website, mainly obscene pictures and movies of kids, as well as adult pornographic pictures, films and articles. Local police seized a computer used to maintain the website in Liu's home as well as bank cards used to collect membership fees.
Liu has confessed to the charges. He said he had raked in over 80,000 yuan (about 10,500 US dollars) in illegal gains from the website's 120,000 registered members.
In other words, an average gain of nine cents per registered member.
By mid-May, Chinese police had cracked 244 cases and detained 270 suspects involved in online pornography, the ministry said.
Now China's getting involved in the export of low-cost drugs including "about $300 million worth of products to the United States".
Is this the next scandal waiting to happen?
