The Internet in China is filtered. Chinese citizens know about filtering only through gossip, or when they discover that certain sensitive Web sites are consistently reported to be unavailable on the otherwise-functioning network. Related research done by Harvard Business School found a range of sites covering dozens of topical categories to be filtered, including dissident and democracy sites, sites covering public health and HIV, sites about religion, Tibet, Taiwan and the home pages of many institutions of higher learning around the world. Within this broad range, apart from pornography, are sites involving news. China regularly blocks the online sites of BBC, CNN, Times, PBS, The Miami Herald, and The Philadelphia Inquirer. However this restrictive attitude does not seem as a big threat over the growth of internet in China. A number of hackers had already entered the cat-and-mouse game of helping users bypass government Internet filters through proxy services. | |||
