More on China's IPv6 Network Buildout

photojournaliste writes "China has developed and demonstrated its first high-performance network core router based on the next-generation Internet standard known as IPv6, which the country officially inaugurated earlier this week." There's also a CNet story, which has a bit more information than our earlier story.

According to the CNET article, CERN stands for China Education and Research Network... What about History of CERN? Oh well, I guess that there are advantages to living in a world without legacy systems or intellectual property...

The free nations of the world use jails to incarcerate criminals. Nations that are not free use jails to incarcerate dissidents.

Under a communist regime, the government is not answerable to the people. The political process is controlled by the party elites. The average citizen's only role in the process is to submit to the dictates of the party. To do otherwise means a short painful life in a gulag.

A report from CNN on gulags in North Korea

Non-trivial totalitarian governments can only be implemented through coercion and force. Democracies and republics can only be implemented, let alone preserved, through the consent of the governed.

Communism requires a totalitarian dictatorship because it is contrary to rational self interest. No human society is not going to willingly submit to a system where everyone enjoys the equal status of being a slave.

Communism is one of the great evils that came to plague the world in the 20th century, if not THE great evil. As bad as the Nazi's were, they've got nothing on communism.
