Xi Guohua, vice minister of MITT, says that the ministry attaches great important to the governance over mobile spam and it requires the relevant companies and units to actively cooperate with the 12321 Informant Center to find effective ways to battle spam on Chinese handsets.
By the end of June 2008, the 12321 Informant Center had received 482,098 leads, of which 438,668 were related to spam.
