    China has vowed to purify the Internet environment for children and provide guidance for their online activities in order to prevent them from addiction, according to a government plan released Monday.

    The Outline for the Development of Chinese Children (2011-2020) says that China will "facilitate a healthy Internet environment for children" by providing free or low-priced public Internet access exclusive to children, and applying special software to "filtrate away harmful information."
