they *ARE* building their own -- sometimes called Internet3, or IPv9 i believe - not compatible with IPv4 or 6 of course.

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...

IPV9 looks like an interesting way to pinch off the chinese internet and they could force conformity to that network standard on their ISP's. It looks like an IPv6 packet with double the header space and is intercepted by 'their' DNS equivalent servers and filtered.

Some hacker can have a field day with fragmented packet DDOS against IPv9 systems. Packet overhead could kill this thing on the spot.
