[edit] "China"/"PRC" vs. "mainland China" for page titles

Following the long discussion at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Chinese) regarding proper titling of Mainland China-related topics, polls for each single case has now been started here. Please come and join the discussion, and cast your vote. Thank you. — Instantnood 15:07, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merger

Perhaps this article should be merged with Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China? The content is basically duplicated. Either that, or this article should be rewritten to focus more on the development of the Internet in China in general, rather than the censorship. -- ran (talk) 21:20, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] History

I added some information about the first connection of China to the Internet. If somebody has the time I suggest adding a history section to this article.

Here is the source for the Beijing-Karlsruhe link that connected China with the Internet: http://www.fgks.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/src/pubzorn/How_China/index.html

This info maybe should also be added to the Chinese language Wikipedia GuntramGraef 15:02, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anybody can find the CNNIC survey data?

I recall China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) reports the development of the Internet in China annually. But I don't know if they report in English or not.--Skyfiler 15:54, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Added links to CNNIC reports.--Skyfiler 18:46, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Psiphon

Psiphon^[1] is a software project designed by University of Toronto's Citizen Lab under the direction of Professor Ronald Deibert, Director of the Citizen Lab. Psiphon is a circumvention technology that works through social networks of trust and is designed to help Internet users bypass content-filtering systems setup by governments, such as China, North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and others.

"We're aiming at giving people access to sites like Wikipedia," a free, user-maintained online encyclopedia, and other information and news sources, Michael Hull, psiphon's lead engineer, told CBC News Online.^[2]
