[school-discuss] The Great Firewall of China

[Joel Kahn <jj2kk4@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm confident that many of you have heard about the
ongoing attempts by the government of the People's
Republic of China to control the Internet access
(and communications in general) of its citizens.
In this recent article . . .

http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200803/chinese-firewall

. . . James Fallows tries to explore in some detail
both the technical and the political angles.

Are any of you involved in any activities tied to the
PRC? If so, how has the Great Firewall affected you?

Joel
