China's Internet "Information Skirmish" 
Citation: Summary: The Chinese government and some Chinese both inside and outside China have been fighting an "information skirmish" on the Internet for over three years. The Chinese government filters the flow of information into China. Dissident groups mail thousands of electronic periodicals into China. They constantly switch originating addresses to evade filtering. Some foreign websites are blocked but Chinese surfers often use proxy servers to evade the Great Red Firewall. Email from China cannot reach certain foreign addresses but using a foreign email account (such as Hotmail) can solve that problem. The old Chinese saying "For every measure taken on high there is a counter measure down below" is illustrated by the wide use of anti-filtering countermeasures. Many Chinese government rules such as the October 1999 net rules banning foreign news articles on Chinese websites have short half-lives. Even banned books sometimes appear in full text on PRC web sites.

Citation: [...] In the course of this short "webnography," I will examine Chinese cultural identity as it is formed and re-formed in www.cnta.com's [Web site of the Chinese National Tourist Association - HL] various pages, and look at some of the ways in which nationalism and global capitalism meet in the arena of foreign tourism. Exploration of these two issues can enlarge our understanding of official nationalism, and of the Internet as a burgeoning medium for such a message.

Citation: Summary: In the future Ministry of Telecommunications (MPT) officials want to reserve access to foreign Internet web sites for people (such as academics) who have a need for international communications. In their view, Internet service providers will wither away, replaced by a state-owned electronic information network. However, there is an alternative view. An Internet entrepreneur and State Council information policy advisor Edward Zeng says that internal PRC government debate on the future of Internet was settled three months ago in favor of openness.
http://www.usembassy-china.org.cn/sandt/infocon.htm more Language: eng English New PRC Internet Regulation 
Description: This page includes an English translation of the Internet Regulations from Dec. 30, 1997. Self description: "Summary: Chinese government sensitivities about control of information coming into China are reflected in the strict controls it maintains over publishing, broadcasting, and electronic communications, including the Internet. The new PRC Internet regulation adopted on December 30 does not appear significantly different from the interim regulation it replaced. [...] Embassy contacts at local Internet service providers, U.S. Internet software companies, and technical advisors to the PRC government all downplayed the new regulation as essentially clarifications of previous interim regulations, with responsibilities, procedures and penalties spelled-out in greater detail. At the same time, officials maintain that PRC policy is to encourage and popularize use of the Internet, fully recognizing that this enables potential access to proscribed information. As one official pointed out: if determined enough, a person will find a way to obtain pornography. It is impossible to stop them, although they can be arrested later."
