Under the Internet Police’s Radar

With the 17th Party Congress about to start and the 2008 Olympics Games approaching, censorship of Chinese media and the Internet has intensified more and more. According to the Beijing Evening News, starting from September 1, new virtual cops will “cruise” all thirteen Internet portals in Beijing. Every half hour, these male or female cybercops will show up on the websites and readers can click on them to report any “illegal information” they see.
