Behind China's Great Firewall
DigitalDame2 writes "In light of the upcoming Olympic Games in Beijing, more scrutiny is being placed on China's Web-filtering practices. In May, China's technology minister, Wan Gang, told Reuters China he would 'guarantee as much [access] as possible,' defending Web limitations as necessary to protect the country's citizens. Truly understanding this cat-and-mouse game means taking a close look at what exactly the government filters out, how the Great Firewall works, and how others have found ways around it."
It's more a bunch of anti-Chinese whiners who never lose a moment to embarrass the rest of us. The China cares for its people more than US allies (ever heard of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia????) and that many 'democracies'. Chinese way of life is changing a lot more than many other countries such as democratic India. /. is pathetic these days.
And I'm not Chinese, I'm French, and bothered by the San-Fransisco-Paris axis of hypocrisy and self righteousness.
