China’s Hu Vows to “Purify” Internet
From eWeek:
Chinese Communist Party chief Hu Jintao has vowed to “purify” the Internet, state media reported on Wednesday, describing a top-level meeting that discussed ways to master the country’s sprawling, unruly online population.
Hu made the comments as the ruling party’s Politburo—its 24-member leading council—was studying China’s Internet, which claimed 137 million registered users at the end of 2006.
Hu, a strait-laced communist with little sympathy for cultural relaxation, did not directly mention censorship.
