Mignews in Russia published an article entitled “Shocking Internet Surveillance in China” on March 4th. The article described the astounding extent to which the Chinese Communist regime is monitoring Internet access in China.
The article said China has activated “Red Network Warriors”, who made it clear that they would put into practice control over the information flow on “sohu.com” website. “Sohu.com” is the most popular Internet portal in China. Around one hundred million Chinese people use this website.
According to the Russian media, seventy-two “Warriors” work in three eight-hour shifts so that they can implement a non-stop surveillance over “sohu.com”, “Beijing Telecom”, “Beijing Netcom” and eleven other Internet portals. In addition, the “Warriors” also took the same measures against four major Internet cafes.
The report also said all of these “Red Network Warriors” have received professional training and have a good command of English. With a solid and tight control over the offices of the Internet service providers, they examine all of the information carefully and are given absolute power in determining what should or shouldn’t appear on the websites. “This news item is allowed to enter the Internet in China, but not that one.” “This chat room must be closed, but that one is fine. “This forum is very dangerous and we have to close it.” “This guy can continue to access the Internet. We will leave him alone for now.” These are the type of conversations you hear among the “Warriors”.
