BEIJING, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- China's anti-pornography office said Thursday that 1,834 suspects had been arrested and 1,052 criminal cases solved in a national crackdown on pornography.

Operations targeting live-streaming platforms, online games, literature and video have been launched across the country to fight against pornographic content since February, according to the National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications.

In one case, police in the city of Chenzhou, Hunan Province, smashed a large transnational live-streaming platform aggregator, busting more than 100 platforms displaying porn and detaining 163 people.

"The fight against online porn concerns the healthy growth of young people and the immediate interests of the public," said the office, which vowed to continue the crackdown.
