                    The man from the southern boomtown of Guangzhou, aged about 30, died on Saturday after being rushed to the hospital from the Internet cafe, local authorities were quoted by the Beijing News as saying.
                    Little China man died on Saturday

                    See the conclusion of the story:
                    In April, President Hu Jintao launched a campaign to rid the Internet of "unhealthy" content and make it a platform for Communist Party doctrine.
                    "Unhealthy" content?

                      The chinese government is on an anti-internet campaign right now. The stories that are out there are probably 90% made of whole cloth. Don't take anything that quotes "state officials" as anything other than a fantasy intended to support their bosses' desires.

                            It did happen before. And it lead to their internet-hour regulations. I guess he figured out a way to bypass that or the Cafe owner is going to be in some serious shit.

                              I'm sorry for laughing at the misfortune of others... but he did that to himself. That's high-larious.
