China Green Dam web filter teams 'face funding crisis

[princeaniket]

controversial government-backed software project to filter internet content could be on the brink of collapse in China

State media said the developer behind the Green Dam Youth Escort software had closed its Beijing project team because of a lack of government funding.

Its partner in Henan said without funding, its team would soon close too.

China had insisted all computers be equipped with the software, but scaled back plans after censorship complaints.

Thanks Prince good read...it seems there is more to the report than meets the eye...in my experience the Chinese are really great people always polite and a credit to their Country...I think it's far more about control than the excuses tabled in the report...

Good find and worthy read......

yeah.. they are one of the few countries in the developing world who is in
Stage Four of the Demographic transition and consistently doing well with a huge trade surplus..
but, still large censorship is the main issue....
