China, US targeting terror online

Number of video and audio materials promoting violence is on the increase

Counterterrorism work between China and the United States has helped authorities track down and delete a number of violent, terrorist video and audio programs stored on US servers, a senior official from the Ministry of Public Security said.

"We have agreed on enhancing judicial cooperation on fighting terrorism, especially cracking down on violent and terrorist audio and video files released online in the US," said Yang Shaowen, deputy director of the ministry's International Cooperation Bureau.
