Is “Scaling the Wall” the Ultimate Solution?
Getting “Real” on CN Internet 2010

                    “The Internet is an open
                    information system. As long
                    as Chinese Internet connects
                    with the international web,
                    harmful information of all
                    kinds will find its way to our
                    domestic websites. So long
                    as Chinese Internet is open
                    to the public, all sorts of
                    netizen remarks will
                    emerge.”
