China's Ministry of Public Security on Friday exposed three more websites it deemed "containing a large amount of lewd content" and ordered the sites for immediate cleaning.

The three sites are, namely, the Beijing-based xilu.com, the Guangdong-based chinawap.cn, and the Shanghai-based blogbus.com.

The ministry said it would shut down the sites if they fail to weed out the "vulgar content."

China has shut down up to 1,507 such websites since the anti-porn campaign was launched on January 5.
