It's apparent that Internet cafes are innocent. Although Internet cafes indeed have some negative effects, they should not be banned. Instead, they should be cleaned up. Specifically, the relationship between who is administering and who is being administered should be straightened out, the regulator of Web sites should be clarified and cooperation among relevant departments strengthened. Web sites without a business license must be closed down while severe punishment must be delivered on sites that are engaged in pornographic and other activities disturbing social stability.
Rectification is a better way than banning to deal with the issue of Internet cafes.
The first time I ever visited an Internet cafe was when I had an interview in Wanzai County, Jiangxi Province. As the hotel lacked sufficient communications facilities, I could not make my computer work. In my predicament I was told that there was an Internet cafe nearby. So I went to that Internet cafe, wrote my story and sent it via e-mail. All this cost only 3 yuan per hour.
