Chronology
09.12.2002 - Human Rights in China reported that cyber-dissidents Mu Chuanheng and Yan Peng were jailed for respectively three years and 18 months for "plotting against the state" and "insulting the authorities." The Chinese foreign ministry refused to comment. A court official in Qingdao noted there was no such crime in Chinese law as "insulting the authorities."
08.14.2002 - On 12 August, the Ministries of Culture and Public Security, and the Department of Industry and Trade banned the opening of any new Internet cafés in China. However, Internet specialists think it will hard to maintain this measure indefinitely in a country that already has some 34 million Netsurfers.
08.8.2002 - According to the South China Morning Post, new legislation is being considered for Internet cafés and could take effect before the end of the year. The daily quoted Deputy Minister of Culture Meng Xiaosi as saying "security" will be the watchword of the new law. The proposed legislation reportedly envisages the registration and monitoring of Netsurfers and the banning of adolescents from Internet cafés. Increased emphasis would be placed on the solvency of owners to ensure that Internet cafés are professional and well run. The Deputy Minister also indicated that the government would embark on a new census of all Internet cafés in September.
08.2.2002 - On the 29 July 18 Chinese intellectuals published a "statement on the rights of Chinese internet-users" which denounced the self-censorship Pact on information on the Internet. According to Agence France-Presse, dissident Liu Xiaobo and independent economist Mao Yushi were among the signatories of the text that calls for the right to set up internet sites and to surf the net in complete freedom. Questioned by AFP, one of the authors of the statement said, "If the major sites submit to the will of the Chinese government this will considerably weaken the capacity to resist of non-governmental organisations which have found the space to express their views on the Internet".
07.18.2002 - On 17 July, some thirty cybercafés in Beijing reopened. They promised publicly to no longer allow people under 18 to enter their premises, to close between midnight and 8 a.m., and to ban gambling and violent video games. They also agreed to a series of measures to prevent fires.
07.11.2002 - 528 Internet cafés in the province of Hebei, northern China, were closed down on 10 July 2002 by order of the local authorities. According to the Beijing Morning Post, the cafés were shut down for safety reasons. The provincial government of Hebei is reported to have inspected 3,813 Internet cafés since 17 June, 2,892 of which apparently presented fire hazards, according to the newspaper.
07.5.2002 - The official Chinese news agency Xinhua said that the main Chinese web sites and ISPs have signed a "self-discipline agreement", under which they agree to censor on-line content. This agreement, created on 16 March 2002 by the Chinese Internet Association, the national agency in charge of the Internet, forbids those signing it from producing or passing on information that could "harm national security and social stability".
06.27.2002 - Shanghai authorities closed on 26 June 244 of the city's cybercafés for not respecting safety regulations. This decision follows a national campaign to inspect Internet access locations following a fire in a Beijing cybercafé. The mayor of Shanghai said that more than 1,300 cybercafés were inspected. Those that were closed may be reopened if they improve their safety systems. In Nanshan district of Shenzen, fifty-three of the seventy-six Internet bars inspected were shut down.
06.18.2002 - According to the daily Shanghai Times, the authorities in Shanghai are moving to shut down any Internet bars that do not have a licence, which means more than half of the establishments in the city. In Tianjin (in the north of the country), the local authorities initiated a tour of inspection of Internet bars on 17 June. And Guangdong province has temporarily suspended the issuing of licences. According to the state press agency Xinhua, the Hong Kong authorities also intend to close down unlicensed Internet bars and to bar anyone under sixteen from entering these establishments.
06.6.2002 - On the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre the police went to the premises of nine Internet portals in Beijing and took sanctions against three of them for 'inappropriate content'. The sites Tom.com, Sina.com and FM365 have received an 'administrative punishment', the exact nature of which is not known. Tom.com has had to remove links to other sites, but has not received any orders regarding its content or its online existence. A Sina.com spokesperson declared, for her part, that it was all a 'misunderstanding' and that the site had not received any injunction over its content. According to the Beijing Youth Daily, the police has also inspected the content of the sites Netease.com, Capital Online (263.net), and Focus.com. The authorities have thus decided that the content of more than 827 sites should be monitored every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday for the next three months. On 3 June the Chinese authorities had already closed nine clandestine cybercafes in Guangzhou (southern China) and confiscated their computer equipment.
05.17.2002 - On 16 May, journalists based in Beijing and Shanghai noticed that web sites of international media, especially Reuters, CNN and the Washington Post, were again accessible to Chinese internet users. The authorities did not confirm this easing of censorship. However, sites for the BBC, Time Magazine and the Voice of America are still blocked to the Chinese. According to a western diplomat based in Beijing, quoted by the Reuters press agency, "The Chinese authorities may have realized that it was very easy to get around their barriers. It is certainly easier to let users access these sites then control the users."
05.16.2002 - As part of its campaign against "undesirable content" on the Internet, launched 1 May 2002, Shanghai police closed some two hundred cybercafés. The Industry and Commerce Department considered it was "socially efficient" to close unlicensed cybercafés.
05.16.2002 - A new ruling announced by the Arts' Ministry restricts access by minors to Internet cafés. From now on, minors will only be allowed into Internet cafés during school holidays and for a maximum of three hours at a time. Furthermore, those aged under sixteen must be accompanied by a teacher. The principal aim of this new ruling is to "minimise the negative influence of the Internet", in particular with regard to pornography, games and violence.
04.25.2002 - The Australian television channel ABC announced on 23 April that the Chinese authorities had closed access to its web site. The management of the national television company have complained to Chinese Foreign Ministry and the Public Security Bureau. An Australian embassy official stated that the restrictions had been put in place following discussions at the highest level. This was immediately denied by a government spokesman. The Dalai Lama's visit to Australia in May this year could be the reason for these restrictive measures.
02.18.2002 - On February 18, it was revealed that the trial of Lin Yang, Ma Yan, Li Chunyang, Jiang Yuxia, Li Yanfang and Huang Kui, students at Tsinghua University (in the suburbs of Beijing), charged with distributing documents on the Falungong on the Internet, will resume only after President Bush's visit to China. According to the Centre for Human Rights and Democracy, their trial began in September 2001 before Zhuhai court (in the south of the country). President Bush is to make a speech at Tsinghua University on February 22.
24 January 2002 - At the beginning of January, the Minister for Information and Technology decreed a new law, which requires ISPs to implement new measures in terms of monitoring information on the Internet. Access providers operating in "strategic and sensitive areas", news and forum sites in particular, must now record information about visitors to these sites, such as their Internet access IDs, their postal addresses and their telephone numbers. It is also requested that they install software to monitor and copy the contents of "sensitive" e-mail messages. According to this new law, ISPs must therefore interrupt the transfer of e-mails containing obscene or "subversive" content, praising "terrorism", or which pose a threat to "national security and unity". Authors of such e-mail messages must be denounced to the Ministry of Information and Technology, the Ministry of Law and Order, and the State Secrets Bureau. In addition, foreign companies selling software in China must now commit themselves in writing to say they will not install spy systems on Chinese computers. This legislation completes the sixty or so other provisions already adopted on January 31, 2001.
On January 14th 2002, Lu Xinhua, member of the Chinese Democratic Party (PDC), is said to have been condemned last December, to four-year imprisonment by the Middle Court of Wuhan (province of Hubei, central China). The cyber-dissident is accused of having criticised the president Jiang Zemin in an article circulating on the Internet. While arresting him on last March 11th, the police had ransacked his domicile and forfeited his computer.
On 13 December 2001, six followers of the Falungong spiritual movement were sentenced to prison terms of up to twelve years for "publishing subversive information on the Internet". According to the Centre for Information on Human Rights and Democracy based in Hong Kong, an official with the first intermediary people's court of Beijing confirmed the conviction of two professors from the prestigious Tsinghua University and two other Falungong followers for publishing in China, on the Internet, information on this spiritual movement which has been banned since 1999. According to the Centre, Yao Yue, a microelectronics researcher at Tsinghua University, received a twelve-year prison sentence. Two other professors at the university, Meng Jun and Wang Xin, were sentenced to ten and nine years in jail, and Dong Yanhong, a university employee, and her husband, Liu Wenyu, received sentences of five and three years. A student from Shanghai, Wang Xuefei, received an eleven-year sentence.
On 27 December 2001, the government news agency Xinhua (News of China) announced that Quan Huicheng, a follower of the spiritual movement Falungong, had been sentenced to three years' imprisonment for downloading, photocopying and distributing documents from Falungong web sites based abroad. Quan Huicheng was arrested in October near a cybercafé in Dongfang on the coast of the southern Chinese island of Hainan.
On 20 November, the Chinese daily Wen Hui Bao asserted that more than 17,000 Chinese cybercafés were closed for failing to block access to "pornographic" or "subversive" websites. This is the result of a governmental campaign to check all cybercafés, launched in April 2001 by the authorities. Only one half of the 94,000 cybercafés had systems able to block access to banned websites. According to the governmental daily quoted by the agency Associated Press, these blocks were made compulsory by the Internet laws passed in 2000.
On 14 November, the trial of Wang Jinbo started in Shandong province (east of the country). According to his father, the district court of Junan adjourned the first day of the trial without giving a date for the next hearing, nor pronouncing a judgement. Only members of the dissident's family are allowed to attend the trial.
On 6 November, we learned that Wang Jinbo, member of the Chinese Democratic Party, charged with sending critical emails against the authorities, will be sentenced on 14 November for "subversion" by a Junan court, in the eastern province of Shandong. This 29 year-old dissident was arrested in May 2001, mainly for his demands on the Internet for the revision of the official verdict on the 1989 democratic movement and for the release of political prisoners.
On 29th October, as soon as Georges W. Bush jetted out of Shangai, Chinese authorities again blocked access to several US media's websites, among them those of CNN and the Washington Post.
On 16 October, Beijing authorities closed the Zhejiang bulletin board on theChinese website Xici.net, reserved for Chinese journalists. The website is charged with "spreading subversive information" and "slandering state leaders and government bodies". Under the authorities' pressure, the forum's webmaster was fired and the administrators responsible for the site must strengthen the management of their other bulletin boards. China holds websites' administrators responsible for the content of forums and chat room on their sites. The authorities have refused to answer questions from the foreign press about the shutting down of Zhejiang, which occurs during the APEC summit in Shanghai.
On 16 October, China unblocked access to several American media websites, among them those the New York Times and The Washington Post, during the Forum of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, which is being held in Shanghai. Access to other websites considered dangerous by the Chinese government, such as the BBC or the spiritual movement Falungong's websites, remain banned to Chinese web users as to Foreign journalists who cover the summit

In the initial trial, he had been sentenced only to nine months' imprisonment, deeming that his crimes were not so "serious". But Chinese authorities told the court to be tougher. He was arrested on May 8 and Shaoyang police confiscated all his property, including his computer.
6 September 2001 : The bulletin board called Baiyun Huanghe (bbs.whnet.edu.cn) in Huazhong University of Science and Technology (centre of the country) is closed. This closure was ordered by the State Council after students posted articles about the Tiananmen Square massacre. Baiyun Huanghe was created five years ago and had 30,000 registered users. The bulletin board was closely interested in politics and especially cases of corruption. Until last year, students could freely express themselves on this forum about taboo subjects such as the Beijing Spring. The Chinese Communist Party' information control finally succeeded in closing this forum, judged "subversive" by the authorities. (consult the protest letter )

Police of Qingdao (Shandong province, south-west of the country), where Yan Pen was born, informed his wife that he had been arrested. His computer had also been confiscated. On 16 July, three Qingdao dissidents tried to intervene in favour of Yan Pen's release, but the police refused. Yan Pen is known for being one of the first dissidents to use the Internet in the struggle against the Chinese Communist Party dictatorship. He has been detained repeatedly since 1989. The seaside city of Qingdao plans to hold yachting competitions during the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
11 July 2001 : On the occasion of a Chinese Communist Party conference, President Jiang Zemin has called to the Internet Laws reinforcement that he judges insufficient in order to prevent the spreading of "harmful information".

4 July 2001 : The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs website (www.dfat.gov.au) is once again accessible in China after being blocked for eighteen months. The unblocking of the web site follows an appeal from the Australian Foreign Minister to China's chargé d'affaires in Canberra, Xie Xiaoyan. Inaccessible to Chinese Internet users for more than one year, the web site reappeared briefly during a visit of the Australian Communication Minister, Richard Alston, last June. The Chinese government spokeswoman denies any censorship and claims that technical problems caused the site to be blocked. In addition, she said "the government never got in the way of solving the problem and even offered its assistance". But, according to several observers, the real reason the site was blocked is the presence of information on the web site, notably about human rights and the risks of conflict in parts of China.
2 July 2001 : RSF learned that Li Hongmin was arrested in the middle of June in Guangzhou (South of China) for having distributed, by e-mail, the 2001 Chinese version of "The Tiananmen Papers".

A spokesman justified this decision by saying it was because of the celebration of the "80th anniversary of the creation of the Chinese communist Party." But, according to some observers, it is more a question of not wanting to attract the attention of international public opinion before the IOC's decision in Moscow of the attribution of the 2008 Olympic Games. Judges had already suspended the trial on 13 February 2001 because of Huang Qi's health. The creator of the 6- 4tianwang.com site risks at least ten years in prison if he is found guilty of "subversion" according to the law on the circulation of subversive information over the Internet.
