Yeah, I read about this. Again China wants to have it both ways. They want to have businesses come here but they keep putting up firewalls and block sites and now they want to forcefully redirect you. I don't see how they expect business to want to come here and stay.
I guess, they r not interested in biz to stay here, just bing the know how, set it up and bye bye :-) Our people will look after :-)
Business is here.
Bring the business here, we'll watch how you run it sucessfully and then steal it from you is more like it. Ha.Ha.
China's firewalls actually only affect SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) who don't have the financial resources to lease dedicated corporate network lines which pop OUT of the country unobstructed (at blistering network speeds, I might add).
China isn't particularly interested (so it seems) in pandering to the smaller entrepreneurs/investors ... at this time.
best line from the article:
'Should the fact that China is using an Internet cannon scare me?'
The new cybertool is being used in conjunction with its "Great Firewall," which already blocks access to sites like Facebook and Twitter on Chinese networks. - I see nothing wrong with blocking these useless sites.
It uses the Internet to blast out cyberattacks. I think it is a great Idea. Keep up the good work!
Well, the United States has a similar program. - What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Great!
possible response to cyber cannon was this www.theguardian.com/[...]
@Campo: I'm not very interested in Facebook or Twitter, but I don't see it as a good idea for the state to go around blocking them, regardless of my attitude.
