Well, China has a crap load of internet cafes. I personally haven't seen any inperson. But 3,300 of them were closed due to poor fire protection and other problems.

Quote

China sentenced two Beijing boys to life in prison in August for starting the city's worst fire in 50 years. Police said the boys were angry because cafe staff would not let them surf there.

Web users at the Lanjisu (Blue Hyperspeed) cafe were trapped inside the blazing den because its door was locked and windows blocked by iron bars. A few customers escaped by squeezing through a bathroom window.


A bit different than what would happen in the US. The boys would sue after setting the fire and then they would get a assload of money. Funny isn't it?
