It's a Nixon flashback. The IT staff got the in the White House for a reason, they just don't hire anybody (unless you're an elected leader of course), so its ignorant to believe that they're simply incompetent.
With all of the international pressure on China right now because of the olympics, and all of the people who are threatening to boycott, it's no wonder that they've decided to ease up bit on their ridiculous internet policy, even if it's moving at a ridiculously slow rate.
This is probably a step in the "diplomacy" direction for the Chinese Government.
