…And Click Here for China

Though the Chinese government is notorious for keeping tabs on the information its citizens can access, it is having a harder time now that the Internet’s popularity has surged in recent years. Surfing the web is cheap and fast at any of 200,000 cyber cafes around the country. Though many anticipated that the Internet would be primarily a forum for dissidents and a force for political change, Chinese have adopted the Internet for everyday use, as well. The government still monitors Internet use, but foreign websites providing international news are starting to be allowed. – YaleGlobal
