SHANGHAI, China — A citizen in Xi’an, capital city of northern China’s Shaanxi Province, was fined the maximum RMB 500 (USD 62.5) by police because he sent SMS messages with pornographic content to his colleagues, a local newspaper reported.

The case is the first of its kind in the province since the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Public Security Administration Punishments became effective on March 1.

My cousin is about to be posted out to China shortly for a work placement. I’ll need to tell him to be careful with his texting!
