BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): The Cyberspace Administration of China has launched a campaign to combat online activities that lure young people to spend large amounts of money on entertainment stars, irrationally follow their idols and become involved in mudslinging with fans of rival popular performers.

Professor Wang Sixin, who specialises in Internet rules and laws at the Communication University of China, welcomed the two-month campaign launched last month, describing it as an urgent and necessary move to clean up cyberspace and help stop the youth from blindly idolising stars.
