Chinese Official Vows to Purify the Net

Just what we need: a "purified" Internet. Why is it we go to war over some tin pot dictator in the Middle East, and then grant this tyrannical behemoth "most favored nation" trade status?

China's Communist party leader, Hu Jintao today announced the intent to leverage the economic potential of the web while seeking to "purify the internet environment". He proposes to do this by maintaining "the initiative in opinion" on the internet and to "'raise the level guidance on the internet," thus civilizing and purifying the internet environment.
