Beijing, Apr 13 (Xinhua/UNI) Chinese authorities have removed more than 33,000 mobile apps that contain illegal content, such as those involving porn, gambling, rogue programs and illegal games since December, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) said.

The CAC said in a statement on its website that it has also worked with other authorities and blocked the links of over 2.3 million malicious websites.
