Photos of my trip to China are up at my mac.com website.
China loses grip on internet

The internet is changing China profoundly, breaking down the stranglehold on information held by China's communist rulers.

The Chinese are now the second biggest internet users in the world. Last year more than 56 million of them logged on from home, and that number is growing by 6% a month.

A hi-tech police force keeps watch over the internet 24 hours a day, But the Chinese state will not give up its monopoly without a fight - and using the internet to express dissent in China is still a very dangerous game to play.
