Illegal Publications: The Cultural Erosion Behind the Transportation of Prohibited Items
Illegal publications that promote terrorism, separatism, and pornographic content are also important types of prohibited items for transportation. The spread of such publications can seriously erode the cultural values and moral ethos of society. Terrorist publications promote extreme ideas and incite violent acts, which may trigger social panic and instability; separatist publications undermine national unity and territorial integrity, threatening national security; pornographic publications corrupt people’s minds, especially causing great harm to the physical and mental health of teenagers and distorting their values and behavior patterns. If these illegal publications spread widely through transportation channels, they will pollute the social and cultural environment and weaken the cohesion and centripetal force of society. Relevant departments continuously strengthen the supervision of the transportation of illegal publications. Once discovered, they will be severely investigated and punished according to law, cutting off the dissemination chain from the transportation link to safeguard the cultural purity and spiritual home of society.
