From an editorial in the Chinese edition of the Global TimesToo Much Complexity Condensed into The Internet ” on March 25, 2011:
Chinese Internet users should understand all the difficulties the State is facing because of the weakness of our cultural position, and reach an understanding of the Internet monitoring and management from the height of national interest as a whole. On this difficult issue, Chinese cultural elites should play more of a role of communication and explanation between monitoring and management agencies and Internet users; at least, their words and actions should not exacerbate society’s misunderstanding of the monitoring and management of the Internet.
“中国互联网使用者应理解国家由于文化弱势所面临的各种难处,对互联网监管从民族整体利益的高度给予谅解。中国文化精英应在这个困难问题上在监管机构和互联网使用者之间多做沟通、解释工作,至少他们的言行不应加剧社会对互联网监管的误解”
