Goddess of the Great FireWall

Jane Wangjia Yan, educated in the University of Pennsylvania, becomes the new chief of the Great FireWall, succeeding Mr.Fang Binxing. Rumor has it that Fang was sacked because of his involvement in a coup conspiracy.

Yan is a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC, roughly corresponding to the Senate, or Upper House).

Yan is the founder and CEO of Venusinfo Technology Ltd since 1996. Yan's official resume claimed she earned a PhD in Computer Science from University of Pennsylvania in 2006. However, many of the propaganda materials released by the official news agencies described she studied at the Wharton School. It is not clear why or how Wharton, a business school, awarded a PhD in Computer Science to Yan.

According to propaganda materials, after graduating from Temple University with a Master's Degree in Computer Science, Yan went on graduate study U Penn under Dr. Moore. 21 years old, she became the head of the Analyst Group, and operates the Wharton Computer Center. Her responsibility include "planning, management of the entire business school network, hardware and software acquisition, data and system security, business data transmission encryption, and networking and communications around the world over various security measures and heterogeneous platforms."

Yan's successful company with ties to the State Information Control Center hosted many important guests. President Jiang Zemin visited Yan's company in 2000. President Hu Jintao visited in 2003.

Yan likes jade. She filled her office with pieces of jade. She looks beautiful. Thanks to this western educated, good looking southern woman, 1.3 billion Chinese were kept in digital darkness behind the Great FireWall of China.

VIP screening of Red Dawn

Router Zonet ZSR4134WE supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n is a really nice deal at $24.99 with $2.99 shipping at Newegg.com, a Chinese company which always brings amazing deals to American consumers, with added value for free.

In the case of the Zonet router, an internal firewall protects users from 'bad' Internet sites, including anyone who is considered a threat to the communism government. For example, MITBBS.com, an overseas Chinese students online community.

刚刚在newegg 买的路由器，Zonet ZSR4134WE，居然内置防火墙，屏蔽mitbbs等网站。

.本人使用time warner cable，以前路由器也可以正常上mitbbs，现在这个路由器就不行。

1.现在不经过路由器，直接连接moden，可以正常上mitbbs，
2.用别人的无线信号也可以。
3.iphone 如果用这个路由器的wifi信号就上不了，用3信G号正常上。请
4.用这个路由器上其他网络是正常的
5. 看了Newegg的评论，人家写道：
This device seems to have a built in firewall that you can't control... I have no problems when I connect my PC directly to my DSL modem, but when this router is in between I have problems with Blizzard downloader.

Dropbox Blocked in China

Dropbox, a popular online storage service had been blocked in mainland China. The IP of Dropbox.com has been blocked, and the word 'dropbox.com' has been blacklisted as of today.

Joining facebook, twitter, flickr, picasa, blogspot, wikipedia, Dropbox was finally recognized by the red regime as a most valued online service.

Most Popular Japanese in China

The most popular Japanese among Chinese netizens at this time is 27 years old AV star Aoi Sora. A Chinese Internet surfer came across Aoi's Twitter account accidentally, and posted it on a Chinese forum. Within days, Aoi's fan base saw a boom at a rate of thousands more per hour. While Twitter is blocked by the communism government, tens of thousands of Chinese netizens learned how to circumvent the Great FireWall, 'flip-over-the-wall', overnight to follow Aoi. Aoi was happily surprised by the surge of followers from China, and started writing a Chinese edition of her twitts.

Aoi's image was further glorified when she revealed that she would raise fund for disaster relief effort for people in Yushu area, hit recently by a major earthquake. Aoi only twitted this idea in her Japanese account, but not the Chinese account. Chinese followers were touched by her consideration, and vowed to contribute.

Other Japanese AV stars favored by Chinese include Asakawa Ran (Korean) and Ai Lijima.

The last time a major Internet technology was introduced to Chinese netizen was when a Taiwan female legislature (Chu Mei-feng)'s sex video was published by a Taiwan newspaper in its entirety of almost one hour of continuous sex, foreplay and political phone calls on the bed stuff. Millions of Chinese learned to use p2p file sharing service to download the video at home. Chu later married to a man in mainland China who knew her from the video.

Blacklist Whitelist

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the Communist Party announced on a conference held in Beijing on Dec 16, 2009 that the entire overseas Internet would be blocked. Instead of past practice of using a blacklist (on the list: Flickr, YouTube, Picasa, Wikipedia, Blogger, Twitter, to name a few) to filter out unhealthy information, a whitelist will be used to allow only selected sites going through the Great FireWall (GFW). Overseas websites must file a record to be white-listed.

The measure is hailed a critical step to protect our children from harmful information such as pornography and gambling, and to shield adult Internet surfers from junk EMails and computer viruses.

Should China Suspend Spending on Great Firewall (GFW)?

With help from US companies (Cisco, for example), the security ministry of China developed the most sophisticated and technical successful Great Firewall (GFW) project to block Chinese Netizens from obtaining and spreading information from the Net. Sites such as Youtube, Facebook, Wikipedia, Picasa, Blogger are blocked, along with others.

In the past 10 years, a conservative estimate of the cost of the project is around $20B RMB ($6.5B). If considering the majority of Chinese people online didn't care about the outside world, then the cost on individual Netizen is an astonishing $30,769 RMB ($5,000) per capital.

If you are one of the Chinese who flipped the 'wall' to read this article, you should feel satisfied after knowing that the government had spent $5,000 on you.

The study was done by Li Huafang.

Lucky ball

Chinese people under the CCP's heavy handed dictation had been known for their stubbornness in playing lucky balls. It was no exception on the First 'Netizen Culture Festival' when a banner read 'Cross the Great Wall to the World'.

In the digital age, to educated westerns, the Great Firewall has replaced the Great Wall as the symbol of China, under the Party's suppression on information.

Another Day, Another Penis

Attorney at law Mr. Liu Xiaoyuan, a diligent blogger took a call at 10:50 Oct 18, 2008. A security guard described how he was wrongly detailed by police, and how police tortured him inside the police station, including tasering his penis.

Months agao, citizen Yang Jia fataly stabbed seven Shanghai police at Zhabei Police Headquarter. Shanghai police kidnapped (possibily killed) Yang's mother in revenge. While Yang's death executation is awaiting for green light from the supreme court, another day, another pennis.

What are Chinese police force made of? Outsiders should know to watch out their backs when travelling in Singapor, and so should they do this same favor to their private part if travel in China.

4:30pm, Mr. Liu took another call, which caller-id showed '*". Without revealing his identy, the called threatened Mr. Liu not accept any interview from oversea media, otherwise be prepread to assume 'consequences' after tomorrow's sentencing of the Yang Jia case.

Mr. Liu Xiaoyuan is a laywer of the Beijing Yitong Law Firm. The official website of the firm is filtered by the Great Firewall of China. A click fromn oversea will return a DNS error, for example.
