China charges U.S. monopolizes the Internet, seeks global control
Special to World Tribune.com EAST-ASIA-INTEL.COM Wednesday, March 2, 2005 China's ambassador to the United Nations last week called for international controls on the Internet.
Chinese Ambassador Sha Zukang told a UN conference that controls should be multilateral, transparent and democratic, with the full involvement of governments, the private sector, civil society and international organizations.
"It should ensure an equitable distribution of resources, facilitate access for all and ensure a stable and secure functioning," he said at the conference on Internet governance.
Sha said China opposes the "monopolization" of the Internet by one state, a reference to the Untied States, which ultimately controls the digital medium.
"It is of crucial importance to conduct research on establishing a multilateral governance mechanism that is more rational and just and more conducive to the Internet development in a direction of stable, secure and responsible functioning and more conducive to the continuous technological innovation," he said. China's communist government fears the Internet would dilute Beijing's control over its population, as information passes unfiltered throughout the country and outside of strict government censorship.
China strictly prohibits any public criticism of the ruling communist party and closely monitors and censors Internet usage. Periodically, Chinese security forces raid Internet cafes and arrest people who violate Chinese rules.
Sha said China has 94 million Internet users out of a worldwide total of about 810 million.
makes it easy for the "democratic" loving Red Chinese elites to control what the hoi polloi see on their computers.
in the meantime, they are building up a lot of IPv6 too, in order to have the technological edge? guess again -- IPv6 make monitoring and tracking source/destination IP addresses *much* easier, allowing the ChiCom government to track down illegal sites and computers that access them...
these guys are the biggest hypocrites. the laugher is that information is like the universal solvent and *CANNOT* really be controlled or contained -- it'll eat through anything. Tienamin Square came about through coordination facilitated via the lowly FAX machines...
Just imagine the power of the blogosphere if unleased in China. That's why China wants "International" control of the internet.
Yes, you are correct. We paid Panama and private property owners for every square inch of that land.
You're right. The "dumb southerner" thing is just an act.
This man "certified" the election of Hugo Chavez, among others.
Well, at least we know who the sponsor is in the UN...
bump IPv9
Any day now, just you wait! ;)
From the article..."China strictly prohibits any public criticism of the ruling communist party and closely monitors and censors Internet usage. Periodically, Chinese security forces raid Internet cafes and arrest people who violate Chinese rules."
Some libertarian types on this site who know computers and the internet and who deplore the government meddling in THEIR affairs think its just peachy to do business with these creeps.
Beats me. What would Ayn do in this instance?
By far, the worst president in our history.
A good idea!
Now in order to get thousands of them for a good price, they would have to be manufactured in China.
So you would end up with containers coming to our ports full of labels that say in big letters "NOT MADE IN CHINA" and then on the back of each one in small print it would say "label printed in China."
Some hacker can have a field day with fragmented packet DDOS against IPv9 systems. Packet overhead could kill this thing on the spot.
China and their global civil society should grow up and act like adults. Is there something wrong with their mental functions? Anybody can add nodes; China could add nodes and even let their own citizens browse in total freedom if they felt like it.
Based on a ten-digit computing method, IPv9 has its own address protocol, nameplate protocol, transitional protocol, and digital domain name regulations and standards as stated by Mr. Xie Jianping, founder of the IPv9 protocol and leader of the Ten-Digit Network Technology Standard Team. Along with being compatible with IPv4 and IPv6, IPv9 can also realize logistic separations between them and safely control them
i was wrong to say it is "incompatible" w/ IPv4/6, more correct is to say it is "selectively compatable", ie - the government decides what is allowed through or not.
the problem for the PRC is that the chinese are excellent programmers, and my guess is that the better ones are sociologically predisposed to work to defeat something like IPv9 rather than to strenghten the hand of an increasingly tyrannical military oligarchy...

shouldn't that be "cold dead finger"?
Whats mine is mine, whats yours is mine too.
In other words the nation of China would be behind a combination of a firewall and a GIANT Websense blocker (http filter).
I would be willing to bet that our country has a protocol that runs transparent to the TCP/IP protocol in order to monitor illegal activity..
