Over 4,000 people applied for Chief Pornography Identification Officer, the recently hottest job in China, and about 100 get the opportunity for interview, Caijing news reported on April 17.

A company called Anquan ("safety" in Chinese) posted recruitment advertising, looking for a "Chief Pornography Identification Officer" to search the Internet for porn and report back about it.

In just one week, Anquan's job posting was shared over 15,000 times on Sina Weibo, a Twitter like service in China.

The job description describes basically what the officer should do.

“You watch Internet porn and describe what you see. Furthermore, this job requires a college degree. And Anquan is offering a salary of 200,000 RMB per year which, even in first-tier Chinese cities like Beijing and Shanghai, is pretty decent.”
