Beijing Cyber Cafes Closed Down
The mayor of Beijing has ordered the immediate closure of all cyber cafes in the Chinese capital, after a fire killed at least 24 and injured 13 others in one of the city's internet parlors.

Mayor Liu Qi also suspended new licenses that are still waiting for safety inspections.

Most of the victims of the fire were students, attracted by the cafe's cheap late-night internet rates; there was only one exit to the room, and the windows were barred.

Tens of thousands of internet cafes have sprung up in China in recent years, with many people - especially the young - seizing the chance to explore life in other countries through the internet.

State media said the blaze started at the Lanjisu Cyber Cafe in the early hours of Sunday morning, in Beijing's university district.

Police cordoned off the area and were inspecting the soot-stained shell of the two-storey concrete building which housed the cafe.

Firefighters managed to put the fire out within an hour.

Although the cause is not yet known, Mayor Liu Qi decided to act quickly.

"From now on, Beijing will not encourage the development of internet bars," he said.

"From today, all internet bars should stop operation and departments concerned should stop issuing licences."

Internet cafes are enormously popular in China and their number has risen sharply in recent years, with many of them open 24 hours a day.

A few weeks ago, a senior figure in China's government expressed concern about the amount of time young people are spending surfing the internet and called for tighter regulation of cyber cafes.
