China will hold an Internet culture exposition in October in an effort to
create a healthy Internet environment.
According to the Ministry of
Culture, the fourth Internet Culture Exposition will be held in Beijing from
October 26 to October 29 and preparations are under way.
The exposition
is aimed at promoting a healthy Internet environment and the government's role
in cleaning up the Internet and using advanced information technology to create
a healthy and moral Internet culture, said Tuo Zuhai, an official with the
Culture Ministry.
The theme of this year's exposition will be "Internet
connects the world. Innovation leads to the future". Tuo said that the
exposition will be composed of two parts: business to business (B2B) and
business to consumers (B2C).
There will be presentations of animation
work from Chinese producers, international interactive entertainment and
equipment for Internet cafes. The exposition will also hold an Internet music
award ceremony.
In recent years, the Internet industry in China has seen
remarkable progress and now has more than 700,000 Websites, with more than
25,000 being added each year. There are more than 100 million Internet users in
the country.
In early April, a proposal to operate 'civilized' Internet
Websites won support from fourteen major websites in Beijing. The Internet
authorities have also increased their supervision of Internet
websites.
