In such closed societies with a one-party political dictatorship, the greatest danger is the truth and information, and the Internet is the ideal means for free communication and spreading the truth.
China has major economic freedom and the free market but will never allow political freedom and democratic elections.
The question is how much the young people in China are aware of the reality in which they live and how much they are prepared to fight for change and true freedom.
The state can control the media and the Internet but can't control the minds and consciousness of its citizens.

In such closed societies with a one-party political dictatorship, major economic freedom and the free market are only SO-CALLED

Its got to be draining beating back the internet against outside propaganda.

That second part you highlighted is interesting,like no one is allowed to have a face on the internet or whats driving that aspect?

I highlighted this part, not just because it is a surprise. People with half a brain know about china and its internet army. This reminded me of how facebook was aggressively pushing people to use their real ID. As soon as someone has total power, under communism or under a massive intelligence agency like facebook, they want mooore total power...

I despise Facebook. too much bullshit and intrusion on your personal life. I'm not sure why anyone would use their real name on it. You know Zuckerberg is getting paid by the Government for all that personal information.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Police in China said on Tuesday they had arrested about 15,000 people for crimes that "jeopardized Internet security", as the government moves to tighten controls on the Internet.

Since taking over in 2013, President Xi Jinping has led an increasingly harsh crackdown on China's Internet, which the Communist Party views with greater importance and acknowledges it needs to control, academics and researchers say.

Police have investigated 7,400 cases of cyber crime, the Ministry of Public Security said in a statement on its website. It did not make clear over what period the arrests were made, but referred to a case dating to last December.

China launched a six-month program last month, code-named "Cleaning the Internet".

"For the next step, the public security organs will continue to increase their investigation and crackdown on cyber crimes," the ministry said.

The campaign would also focus on breaking major cases and destroying online criminal gangs, it added.

The sweep targeted websites providing "illegal and harmful information" besides advertisements for pornography, explosives and firearms and gambling. In total, the police said they investigated 66,000 websites.

China runs one of the world's most sophisticated online censorship mechanisms, known as the Great Firewall. Censors keep a tight grip on what can be published, particularly material that could potentially undermine the ruling Communist Party.

In February, China's internet watchdog said it would ban from March 1 internet accounts that impersonate people or organizations, and enforce the requirement for people to use their real names when registering online accounts.
