The CPC Central Committee and China's State Council have jointly issued a rule on further improving the construction of extracurricular sites for teenagers to enhance their morals and ethics.
The new rule, called "Opinions on Further Strengthening and Improving the Construction and Management of Teenagers' Extra Curricular Sites", consists of eight parts and requires local governments to bring the construction of youth activity centers and science and technology centers into their economic and social development plans.
The rule says places that are intended for teenagers to take part in extracurricular activities should not be profit-making enterprises. It further states that youth activity centers, which are financially supported by the government should always emphasize wholesome fun for teenagers.
The rule also asks that programs and services at the concerned sites that are not suitable for teenagers be eliminated immediately.
