of Culture, said this Saturday at the First China International Exposition
on Online Culture being held in <http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/data/province/beijing.html>Beijing.

- In June 2002, some people set fire in a local Internet
cafe, killing 25 and injuring 13, which triggered a crackdown on unlicensed
operations. As a result, the number of Internet shops dropped from 200,000
to 110,000.
-
- Less than 100 chain store operators will be set up in
the future, to help regulate and standardize the sector.
-
- Not all of the Internet cafes will be chains, but the
government will issue relevant regulations to ensure the healthy operations
of these individual shops, according to the official.
