China launches new generation Internet

Following its economic success (so admittedly, numbers can be doubtful, as pointed out in a comment!), its overall success in communications, it is just natural that China is trying to make its mark in Internet technology.

"With the launch of the first backbone network of the next-generation Internet in China, the country is expected to dramatically narrow its gap with the world's leaders."

""We were a learner and follower in the development of the first generation Internet, but we have caught up with world's leaders in the next-generation Internet, become a first mover, and won respect and attention from the international community," said Wu Jianping, director of the expert committee of the China Education and Research Network (CERNET) and a mastermind in the development of the next-generation Internet in China."
