Chinese President Hu Jintao (C) listens to explanations of computer technology while visiting Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington, April 18, 2006. Hu has vowed to "purify" the Internet, state media reported on Wednesday, describing a top-level meeting that discussed ways to master the country's sprawling, unruly online population.

But has he discussed this with Gore?

[MARKUSPRIME]

Communist china = totalitarian brain washed foaming at the mouth nationalist drones. Thought police of the highest order. This is a direct threat to democracy.

What do you bet his computer is full of porn.....?

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Sure, like the Communist Chinese never censored anything before. Who can say they're surprised to hear this?

[GodfearingTexan]

Chinese commies suck.

"Hu told officials to intensify control even as they seek to release the Internet's economic potential. "Ensure that one hand grasps development while one hand grasps administration pruity",

"...Ensure that one hand grasps development while one hand grasps..."

What? What? This guy is talking about purifying the Internet?????

There is a reason Internet is capitalized: there is only one. What China has a a national intranet, or private network for its own puposes. So, sure, they can do anything they want with it, they just can't expect the rest of the world to care very much.

And the Globalists want to put all the biscuits in China's commie basket? Are they insane? Either China's people will overthrow their country or We'll all be under China's rule one day.

Who?

[Gay State Conservative]

The Chinese government sure showed their talent for "purifying" in June 1989.

[feralcat]

Maybe he and Harry Reid can trade tips.

After all, Reid and the Democrats want to "purify" talk radio, cable TV, and the Web of all that "unfair" right-wing extremism.

[KarlInOhio]

Maybe the Chinese need some type of "gatekeeping function" like Hillary wanted for the internet.

[Jack Hammer]

For "purify" read "eliminate word of Chinese government corruption."

[GulfBreeze]

Hu's on first...

But, luckily for them, they are aided by Yahoo and Google.

"Analysis: Yahoo's China problem

Ahead of a Congressional hearing, the Chinese Web portal has been blamed for the jailing of a second Chinese dissident.

How many Chinese citizens are now in jail because of information Yahoo provided to the Chinese government?"

And, according toWikipedia

"Since announcing its intent to comply with Internet censorship laws in the People's Republic of China, Google China has been the focus of controversy over what critics view as capitulation to the "Golden Shield Project". Because of its self imposed censorship, whenever people search some Chinese government listed keywords, (those keywords are confidential), google.cn will list the following at the bottom of the page:"According to the local laws, regulations and policies, part of the searching result is not shown."...A PBS analysis reported clear differences between results returned for controversial keywords by the censored and uncensored search engines^[6]. According to New York Times, Google has set up computer systems inside China that try to access Web sites outside the country. If a site is inaccessible (e.g., due to the Great Firewall), then it is added to Google China's blacklist.^[7]"

This is the Commie equivalent to the "series of tubes" comments, or possibly Senator Orrin Hatch has found his soulmate.

No man made system can control 200 million human brains connected to a network... even if the network is encapsulated.
