DescriptionWith their control over newspapers, television, magazines and the internet secure, censors in China are now turning their attention to the nation's karaoke parlours.

The Ministry of Culture has issued new rules to prevent "unhealthy" songs from ringing forth in the sing-along bars, and to safeguard intellectual property rights.

The Government has picked three cities, Wuhan, Zhengzhou and Qingdao, to test the program, under which member businesses will choose songs from a central database. If successful, the program may go nationwide.
