The Photocopier,The Firewall and Google

China, following on from its censorship of the Internet, has
identified photocopiers in Tibet as a potential threat to the
state. Fearing what BEIJING may class as demagogic machinations,
a new law has been introduced that requires the owners of
printing and photocopying shops to obtain a permit. They will be
required to catalogue their clients and all material being copied
or printed.
The Lhasa Evening News reports that the new rules are being
implemented right now. Tibetan protesters claim the new rules are
part of a wider aim to quell Tibetan intellectuals after a March
2008 uprising and subsequent casualties.
(http://www.lasa-eveningnews.com.cn/epaper/uniflows/html/2010/05/
20/01/default.htm)
The Government Authorities in Tibet view printers and
photocopiers for shops as potential channels through which
Tibetan writers, artists and other intellectuals can spread
dissident information.
Chinese Officials claim that their goal is to bring stability,
ethnic unity and improved living standards to the region.
Internationally, China has been much berated for its censorship
policies. This has meant that writers and songwriters have been
detained and people arrested for sending what are deemed to be
anti-government email.
The Golden Shield Project operates on the Internet and is a
censorship program installed by the state of China. Often
referred to as the Great Firewall of China, the Golden Shield
Project has drawn intense criticism from Internet Activists and
Search Engines alike.
Google have had a turbulent time with Chinese censorship claiming
that Government Censorship is inconsistent with its corporate
ethics. Google shut down its search Web site in China on March 22
because it said it disagreed with the Chinese government Internet
censorship policies. However, Google are now set to renew its web
services according to latest reports. Google had been redirecting
its China users to their Hong Kong site where the censorship is
not applied.
Chinese proxy servers regularly appear online in an attempt to
get round blocked internet content. Using a proxy IP address to
surf the Internet has become a common thing among China's cyber
community.
The economy of the People's Republic of China is the 3rd largest
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)
in the world and despite disagreements over censorship many
companies see that the benefits of competing in China outweigh
the problems with the Golden Shield Project.
With a rumoured cost of over $900 million the Golden Shield
Project of China remains one of the most sophisticated firewalls
in the world. Blocking IP Addresses of non-government approved
websites and controlling DNS. This latest rule in Tibet extends
the controlled distribution of information to the low-tech world
of photocopiers.
