More dangerous than alcohol

Good news: China has shut 8,600 internet cafes since February, because they were "admitting juveniles".

"They have brought great harm to the mental health of teenagers and interfered with the school teaching, which has aroused strong reaction from the public," said the GAIC...

The Chinese government has launched a nationwide check on all Internet cafes from February to August so as to halt the entry of minors as well as to prevent access to detrimental information through the Internet, according to a circular released in February jointly by the Ministry of Culture, the GAIC, the Ministry of Public Security and other relevant government departments.

It used to be tennagers sneaking into bars for a drink. But obviously the internet is far more dangerous than that.
