Counter-Strategies

Self-description:
"'You've Got Dissent! Chinese Dissident Use of the Internet and Beijing's
Counter-Strategies.' [A 2002 report (ISBN: 0-8330-3179-1) by] Michael S. Chase, James C. Mulvenon. Summary:
An analysis of the political use of the Internet by Chinese dissidents, both in the PRC and abroad, and the
counterstrategies that Beijing has employed to prevent or minimize its impact. Although PRC officials
have responded to the increased use of the Internet with predominantly traditional measures, they
have been relatively successful. No credible challenges to the regime exist at present,
despite the introduction of a massive modern telecommunications infrastructure.
However, time may be on the side of the regime's opponents."
