As someone who work with vendors in China.
Factory have trouble getting as much labor as they need. It's pushing wages to about $220, free room & board. With overtime pay for night and sundays.
With the factories so close to each other, places don't offer the average amount can't survive.
The new TLDs are NOT.net and.com, it's Chinese characters of.net and.com .
Root servers can distinguish between the two, if a request came in for english.net, use regular internet, if.net is in chinese, serve the Chinese net.
They are not cut them selves off, they are just appending an extra net to the existing internet.
1) There are only a few top post in China that provide policy direction. Most of it currently filled by Hu, a civil engineer by trade (thus all the rail road, dam and other civil projects got a lot more funding.)
2) There is also a people's congress full of semi-elected people (some of them are appointed by local governments, some elect by villages, some by state companies). They mostly just rubber stamp what the top people want to do. But sometime they don't.
3) There is also a mass of state and local governments. The major cities' governments are controled closely from the top. But small cities and villages local government mostly ignore what ever the top tell them and do their own thing.
4) For a non-elect government, they still respond closely to the needs of the poeple. Like when the difference between rich and poor became an identified problem. The state abolished tax for the bottom 20%, lowered gas price for farmers and removed residency requirment to work in most cities.
5) To get to the top in Chinese Government, you would start in some government office. Then work your personal relationships, or prove yourself.

It makes some good points.
Like how the western media doesn't care about who Chinese bloggers are and what they are blogging about, what gets censored, and importantly what doesn't. It only have a single point when talking about Chinese blogs: Censorship.
