China’s Anti-Pornography and Anti-Illegal Publications Office has booked a huge victory by preventing the country’s youth from accessing more than 4 million copies of pirated teaching materials. According to the vice director of the office, such materials “harm the healthy development of the country’s youth.”

The National Anti-Pornography and Anti-Illegal Publications Office has the task of educating China’s youth on copyright issues, to ‘purify’ the publication market by removing pirated and illegal publications. The office launched a new campaign this August targeting pirated education materials, a campaign that turned out to be a huge success.

Less than a month after it was launched the office has already seized more than 4 million pirated teaching materials. As a result a massive 182 printing companies were shut down as well as 100,000 stalls where the illegal teaching materials were sold.
