BEIJING, April 2 (Xinhua) -- China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism on Monday detailed cases of online companies punished for illegal operations, including imitating Communist classics and heroes, producing gambling games, and hosting illegal performances.

Five video platforms in Beijing, South China's Guangdong Province and east China's Fujian Province were fined for spreading the videos, according to the ministry.
