Web rules promoted among Chinese youth

China on Friday launched a campaign to promote knowledge of Internet-related laws and regulations among young people in a bid to protect them from online harm.

Part of a larger movement to clean up the Internet for young netizens, the campaign aims to teach them to use online resources in a safe and healthy way while strengthening a sense of legal protection for themselves, according to a statement released Friday by the campaign's organizers.

The campaign was jointly initiated by the State Internet Information Office, the Ministry of Education, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the All-China Women's Federation.

The campaign mainly includes online articles, video clips and interactive lectures at http://klcb.k618.cn/zt/wmsw to explain legal knowledge on Internet safety, e-commerce and other aspects while illustrating typical cases of Internet-related crimes and copyright infringement.

Lectures and surveys will also be held in various schools, according to the statement.
