There are a lot of people that think the Internet is going to bring information and democracy and pluralism in China just by existing.

The early idealists and companies and governments have all assumed that the Internet will bring freedom. Yet China proves that this is not the case.

Every year in China, Internet executives are officially rewarded for their 'patriotism.'

In the Internet age, it is inevitable that corporations and government agencies will have access to detailed information about people's lives.

I don't think there's any serious discussion inside the Chinese government about liberalising. I don't think anything's going to change in China until enough Chinese say, 'We're not going to play this game any more.'

One-way monologues through the Voice of America and Radio Free Asia don't have much street cred with China's Internet generation, to be honest.
