			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P >Chinese officials launched a crackdown today on “vulgar” websites, including Google and the country’s leading search engine, Baidu, according to <EM><A href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/05/china-internet-crackdown-google" target=_blank >The Guardian</A></EM>.
<p>Officials named 19 sites they say they failed to censor inappropriate content that could harm young people’s physical and mental health.
<p><P >State television showed officials seizing equipment from an office while stating that the ministry of public security, along with other government bodies, would begin a crackdown.
<p><P >The China internet illegal information reporter center—part of the Internet Society of China—claimed that searches on Google and Baidu produced too many links to obscene or pornographic websites.
<p><P >Baidu has two-thirds of the world’s largest internet population, followed by Google in second place.
<p><P >The Chinese government frequently launches censorship drives to target pornography and web scams as well as political criticism.
<p><P >It is feared that the government’s censorship of pornographic sites on these search engines could segue into further censorship restrictions in other areas. </P></p>
