China Requires to Block Online Gambling
All personal computers sold in China – of July 1st – will be required by the government to contain software blocking access to designated websites, including online gambling sites. The country has instructed manufacturers doing business in the country of the rule, but has not yet informed the public. The *Green Dam Youth Escort* software must be preinstalled in both imported PCs and those made in China, according to a Ministry of Industry and Information Technology statement posted on its website today. China’s government will pay for PC owners to use the program for free for one year, it said. Installation of the software in PC’s is part of an effort to *strengthen earlier achievements in cracking down on vulgar Internet content,* the ministry said in the statement. 
China bans online pornography, gambling and content critical of the government by requiring all domestic websites to be registered with the state and by blocking access to foreign sites such as Google’s YouTube and that of human rights group Amnesty International.
