| 848815 | 2010-01-15 00:46:00 | In an indirect response to Google's refusal to continue government-ordered censorship, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu maintained that "China's Internet is open" — open, that is, in the sense of being closed to certain information . (cont'd) . . . . . . . . "The Chinese government administers the Internet according to law," she said, "and we have explicit stipulations over what content can be spread on the Internet . All companies willing to accept those restrictions are welcome to do business in China", she said, leaving the converse unspoken . Oh, and those sophisticated hacking attacks against Google and other U . S . companies that seem to lead back to China? "China's law prohibits cyber crimes including hacker attacks," said Jiang . Putting the fundamental divide into even sharper relief was Wang Chen, information director for the State Council: "Effective guidance of public opinion on the Internet is an important way of protecting the security of online information . . . . China's Internet is entering an important stage of development, confronting both rare opportunities and severe challenges . Internet media must always make nurturing positive, progressive mainstream opinion an important duty . " Obviously, Google and China are working from different mission statements . Can you define: "effective guidance of public opinion" for me - one more time? |
