China has ordered video streaming websites to remove any lewd television content before posting them online.
According to the BBC, under new rules, the hosting websites will have to cut any scenes which deal with marital infidelity or show "too much physical contact".
The State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT) has asked the websites to also edit scenes showing murders, suicides, kidnappings, drug abuse, gambling or "supernatural occurrences".
The country's media watchdog has further ordered the deletion of any headlines, which include a reference to sex or nudity.
The crackdown is reportedly a part of the Chinese government's campaign against pornography and "vulgar content", dubbed "Cleaning the Web 2014".
