Flooding the zone - Beijing style
It's not as good a thread title as "What's Chinese for 'Sockpuppet'?".. but I couldn't lift that from Hugh as well!.. heh. This Guardian report has some strangely familiar claims - "China's communist authorities have intensified their campaign against the party's biggest potential enemy - the internet - with the recruitment of a growing army of secret web commentators".. Hmmm..

Although I do not in anyway agree with or condone their tactics the Chinese government may as some would argue legitimately see the internet as destroying hundreds of years of culture.
