“Can China prevent the enthusiasm for Internet Gambling?”
More than thirteen hundred people were arrested in Shanghai
by Chinese lawmen for taking part in gambling on the Internet.
This was part of a continual attempt in China to stymie
the increasing gambling commerce via the Internet. Authorities
in China claimed that gambling on the Internet took place
in individual homes, nightclubs and Internet cafes, which
were all raided.
In China this raid was not the
first of its kind on gamblers operating on the Internet.
Some one and half pounds, or twenty three million of Chinese
currency, were appropriated from some six hundred gamblers
playing online gambling early in January. Furthermore, playing
on an underground Internet gambling company, some two hundred
and twenty players were nabbed in a number of
police raids. According to Chinese authorities, for virtually
a year now, Chinese criminals have been operating in collusion
with gambling concerns in Taiwan. The latest raids, in fact,
have produced some interesting results, such
as two of China’s
most-sought after thirteen hundred criminals on their black
lists have been arrested and it’s obvious that they
have criminal associations with the business
of online gambling.
