China said it has shut down more than 130,000 "illegal" Internet cafes, according to a new government report issued this week, and vows to extend the crackdown from urban to rural areas.
Nearly 7,000 of the closures took place in 2010.
The closures took place over the past six years as part of Beijing's long-term strategy to regulate cybercafes, official media reported on Friday.
