Crackdown launched against inappropriate animation

Authorities in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, have launched a crackdown against online animated videos targeting children that contain pornographic and violent content.

The move comes after an animation company whose products were found to contain pornography and violence was shut down.

The videos produced by the company, Guangzhou Yinjun Trading Co, have also been removed from major websites and social media, according to a statement from the city's office for eliminating pornography and illegal publications.
