When I first saw this i thought it was idiotic, but knowing China it is a good idea. As hard up as these guys are, all it would take is a shot of Jessica Fox in her knickers and you’ve got the codes to the big bombs…..

The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has told its two million soldiers that they are no longer permitted to use the internet for social networking as the activity poses a threat to military secrets and the solidarity of the army. The announcement was made in light of increasing concern that soldiers may inadvertently share military secrets with online contacts, when they may even unknowingly be made targets for enemy intelligence agencies.
With many soldiers signing up to such websites and registering their contact details, even posting photographs of themselves online, a great deal of information becomes ascertainable about China’s military bases.The People’s Liberation Daily, the official newspaper of the armed forces, said Officers and soldiers must realize the real dangers of online chats and networking which do not comply with the military’s need to maintain high levels of security.
Army leaders acknowledged that moving young Chinese soldiers away from their internet screens would not be an easy task and had prepared for long campaign to enforce the new regulations. To distract soldiers from their online friendships, the army has promised to help them find true love. Last year, the PLA in Tibet said that many of its soldiers were now in happy relationships after their senior officers had stepped in to act as match-makers.
