You used a WRONG picture in slide 6In slide 6 "#5 It's censored", the picture you used is nothing relative to the censorship. It is for another law in China, "Child who is younger than 18 years old is prohibited from Internet cafes" (http://www.gov.cn/flfg/2006-12/29/content_554397.htm 4.36). The children in the picture are obviously middle school students, according to the uniforms on them.
Chinese government Internet censorship: The pros and consBy Anonymous on May 12, 2008, 10:49 am
Would you support government censorship of the Internet for less spam, viruses and other attacks?

i think we shouldnt be censored because it would be against our rights that protect us every day and that we live by. we should be able to do what ever we want on the internet and watch what ever we want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JeezcensorshipBy Anonymous on April 15, 2009, 10:40 am

JeezBasic MathBy Anonymous on April 7, 2009, 11:20 amI really can't stand statements such as "China decreased its spam volume by 131%". Anyone with a basic understanding of percent knows this is a logical impossibility. If you have 100 of something, you can't get rid of 131 of them. Even if one were to accept that as a common but incorrect usage, what the heck could it possibly mean??
Transfer of leadership peacefully, with full willBy Anonymous on March 30, 2009, 11:05 amThat is the only difference between USA and China. The Chinese did not invent the Internet. They just got the package ready made, just like a new toy, and now they are 'playing' with it. Now, just like the rest of the 3rd world countries, they brag that they are on it. For People here in America, the Internet is a part of daily life. Here in the US, we pay phone bill, electricity bill, utilities bill, even garbage bill, we keep family and friends contacts, pictures, videos, and memoirs, we look for medicine, and renew our prescription drugs on it, we use its maps to find directions to a store, a business, a friend, or just going out. We order take out on it, and check our bank accounts on it. We do not "brag" that we are on line here in America, we are simply just there. Just exactly the way we vote our leaders out of office, or vote them in. We do not think much about, we just do it. The true difference in a nutshell, is that the Chinese people are not mature enough to be like America. Because in America the People do not trust the governemnt, yet the governemnt trusts the people.

The censorship is good except for the political stuff being unfrBy Anonymous on March 7, 2009, 5:40 pmI am a Chinese and live in Canada now. I agree most of the slides are talking about the truth. But keeping scam, fishing rate low is definitely good, and the only thing I hate is the stupid Chinese government prohibits people talking about politics. This is an old and definitely wrong idea since those ancient feudalism societies. In Chinese its called “防民之口甚于防川”, indicating that words out of people's mouths are even more dangerous than flood. In other aspects I think the censorship is doing the right thing. My idea is the government do know that they are using the unfair politic system and is deeply afraid of being pulled down. By the way I think nowadays connected computers are very common in normal families of China.
No goverment interferenceBy Anonymous on June 15, 2008, 7:01 pmNo one needs governments to blast viruses and spam! We don't need to become like Chinese or Iranian users, watched, screened and censored. You get a virus, make sure you updated your antivir! Better bet 50 bucks on Norton and alike than on governments for fiddling with communication. You get spam, put your mail on gmail! Even a 5 years old child can do that. Governments... not even able able to round up narco billionaires!
Agree.By hisapphire on June 14, 2008, 12:25 amI'm a Chinese and I agree with most of your opinions.But#3 Access to foreign Web sites is limitedis not true.Some oversea web sites are limited by themselves.
Another differenceBy Anonymous on May 27, 2008, 9:07 amI think you might want to point out another most significant difference, namely, the Internet in Chinese is mostly in "simplied Chinese characters" versus English or other languages and give statistics if possible (e.g., 95% in Chinese, 4% in English, etc.) I think readers in the U.S. and the West must realize that, despite China's ambitions to learn and master the English language, communications there are still conducted in Chinese and many messages won't get through unless they are communicated correctly in the Chinese language.
