China has ordered all internet cafes and bars to register
with local authorities and provides lists of customers, in a
move that highlights official unease over the explosion of
internet use.

....
The official media said yesterday that the move was
intended to stop the spread of pornography and
gambling, which were "poisng a threat to the hearts and
minds of our youth".
