China and cyber dissidents

The Globe and Mail has a story about how Cyber dissidents rattle China’s thought police. The story features the “Stainless Steel Mouse”, a 24-year-old woman Liu Di who was jailed for a year for her online activities. What is scary is how many people China purportedly has monitoring the net. It is also scary how technology companies have worked with the government to develop online surveillance tools. China may prove the Internet is as easy to patrol as the streets. The story is by Rod Mickleburgh, Friday, Oct. 29, 2004, Page A16.
