Oh sure, and this is the same COMMUNIST China that thinks there should be GLOBAL control of the Internet, because they think the U.S. is too dominant.
The U.S. Government may not have a perfect track record, but they've never shut down 47,000 websites or censored access as do the Imperial Masters of Beijing.

It doesn't matter where they are; all Big Stupid Government politicians, worldwide, want to suppress free speech and easy communications among people who care about liberty. Bush's assault on the First Amendment is more proof of that.

It's almost like there are several people or agencies in China making conflicting decisions. Perhaps the scope of their state is too broad. Such things sure don't fly in the USA.

That's not 47000 websites. It's internet cafes. Those are shops where one purchases internet time to do stuff on-line.
