Online in China: an audio analysis
02 July 2008
Check out this great podcast about the Internet in China. It's from the US's National Public Radio's On The Media program.
NPR says:
" … The internet in China is both censored by the government and used for surveillance, but American companies make the calculation that it is better to be there, albeit in a diminished capacity, than not at all.

It features interviews with Rebecca MacKinnon, former CNN Beijing Bureua chief and now assistant professor at the University of Hong Kong's Journalism and Media Studies Centre, and Jeremy Goldkorn, who runs the Chinese media site Danwei.org.
