BEIJING — To further its ongoing effort to combat sexually explicit websites, the Chinese government last week arrested a blogger for posting sexually explicit stories to his website, the Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported.

The blogger, identified only by his surname Li, posted the stories to a blog called “Hazy Night.” According to a spokesman from the Beijing Public Security Bureau quoted by Xinhua, the blog received close to 100,000 visits between August 2006 and April of this year, when police began to receive complaints about the blog’s content.

Li was arrested last Tuesday by police from Beijing’s university district, and charged with distributing Internet pornography, according to Xinhua. Individuals convicted of selling obscene content in China face jail terms of up to three years, but Xinhua reports that the law may not apply to Li, as the stories were freely available on his site, and not being “sold.” (more. . .)
