China Produces Movie About Dangers Of The Internet
Beijing (AFP) Sep 15, 2005 Chinese authorities have helped produce a movie that will educate its youth on the dangers of excessive Internet use, state media reported Thursday. "Internet Teenagers," currently showing in theaters across the nation, deals with the "appropriate use of the Internet and smooth communication with adolescent children," the China Daily said. "Some students choose to indulge themselves in virtual reality, where they believe they can find relaxation, entertainment, self-esteem and friendship, and not face real life," said Shi Xuehai, the director. The movie's story line has a teacher coach a group of problem children who also happen to be "high-tech geniuses," according to the paper. It is a co-production involving the government-run Beijing Municipal Youth League and could mark a new and softer approach by the authorities towards the Internet. The Chinese government has long shown suspicions about the Internet, worrying about its potential for carrying subversive content. But so far the main tactics have consisted of heavy-handed measures like closing down Internet cafes, jailing online dissidents and policing the web.
