If you live in the US, you will need to go back to Watergate to find evidence of Investigative Journalism. :lol:
To be honest, the Chinese government has always been trying their best to control the Internet (at least within the jurisdiction of China), but then I also agree that porn and other illegal stuff (such as copyright infringing media download) need to be addressed.
If you are able to read the (Chinese) language, you may want to check out CNNIC's Chinese website, where a few more notices dated Dec 10 & 11 are posted. My understanding is that this latest strike is more a response to a CCTV news magazine report aired on Dec 9, which linked illegal online activities with false domain registration info.
For those who are not aware of it, investigative journalism in China has led to A LOT of reforms and prosecutions in the past decade.
