China Praises UK Internet Censorship Plan

mormop writes "The Chinese government has praised UK Prime Minister David Cameron's plan for censoring social networking sites at times when the government feels threatened, believing it legitimizes China own behavior. Quoting Chinese state media website Global Times: 'Britain's new attitude will help appease the quarrels between East and West over the future management of the Internet. As for China, advocates of an unlimited development of the Internet should think twice about their original ideas.'"

To be fair, I think the fact that the UK is the most intense police state / surveillance society in the "free" Western countries is what has lead to the claims of fascism (and has for some years before Mr. Cameron was ever elected).
