China has shut down 91 websites for pornographic and other 'vulgar' content, as well as a political blog portal, since announcing its latest bid to ensure Internet morality, the state-run web portal China (http://www.china.com.cn ) said Monday. China's ruling Communist Party is wary of threats to its grip on information and has conducted numerous censorship efforts targeting pornography, political criticism and web scams, but officials flagged tougher steps this time. Bullog.cn, a Chinese blog portal with many famous bloggers, including some signatories of the pro-democracy '08 Charter', has been inaccessible since Friday. China's latest crackdown on Internet content targeted many big names, including Google, Microsoft's MSN and homegrown market-leading rival Baidu, for undermining public morality. None of the big names was on the list of 91.
