PRC Internet: Cheaper, More Popular And More Chinese
U.S. Embassy Beijing, China
Supplied note:
"Chinese efforts to popularize and boost the Chinese language presence
on the Internet through a low-cost domestic-only service, a convenient
non-registration Internet service added to the telephone bill, and
increased Chinese language content will likely push the total number
of Chinese users to over 5 million by the year 2000. [...] The PRC
government strives to assure China's place it what it sees as the
coming global 'information-based economy' [... and] to restrict the
vast majority of China's Internet users to domestic websites and so
eliminate the need to rely on ineffectual blocking techniques."
