China and the Internet

It is sad that good developments always (always?) have to go hand in hand with something less desirable. Shanghai has announced that they require cybercafe operators to install cameras to monitor users. The campaign, planned for the next 6 months, is suppose to scrutinise the viewing of pronographic or superstitious sites and to keep out visitors under the age of 16.

This accompanies the rise of China as an economic superpower where mobile phone usage and internet penetration is just surging and surging and surging.
