Subject: Re: [IP] Fascinating: "The Internet in China" - New Chinese white paper (PDF available)


There are a number of intriguing oddities in the government's paper,
including its nearly complete omission of the role of actual Internet
providers, its posture as a neutral arbiter, its omission of the means
to enforce the many laws it cites, and its sunny view of its relations
with international Internet government bodies, but what I really wrote
for was to recommend Guobin Yang's book, "The Power of the Internet in
China"
(http://cup.columbia.edu/book/978-0-231-14420-9/the-power-of-the-internet-in-china).
I reviewed it here:

Fascinating: "The Internet in China" - New Chinese white paper (PDF
available)
http://www.nnsquad.org/archives/nnsquad/msg03664.html

The Chinese government has just released a white paper covering a wide
range of topics related to their view of the Internet. It is *very*
much recommended reading. Since this paper apparently was only
released officially as a number of separate HTML pages, I have
converted and combined them into a single PDF document for ease of
handling, and am hosting the file locally.
