China intends to punish dozens of online game operators as part of Beijing’s ongoing crackdown on unauthorized internet content.

On Monday, Chinese new agency Xinhua reported that the Ministry of Culture (MOC) plans to punish 36 online game operators for “disseminating pornography, aiding and abetting, and gambling.” The MOC has told the 36 operators to cooperate with law enforcement and to learn from their mistakes.

In September, the MOC launched an inspection of the online games market in a number of major cities, including Beijing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Of 200 randomly selected games operators, the MOC discovered 36 were offering games featuring illegal content like gambling and porn, as well as content that offends the vaguely defined concept of ‘social morality.’

Chen Tong, director of the MOC’s cultural department, told a press briefing on Monday that many of the games currently available online were of low quality and had “poor social values.” Chen urged game developers to craft games that propagate “socialist core values.” Because after all, everyone knows that the kids simply go wild for educational game titles.
