| Summary/Abstract |
The saga of the "Green Dam," Beijing's most recent censorship initiative, has become a Rorschach test for how one views the development of the Chinese Internet. Facing mounting opposition, the government announced it was temporarily shelving a controversial requirement to install the problem-laden filtering program on every personal computer sold in China just hours before the policy was to go into effect on July 1. Some see this as a victory for freedom of expression; others as a temporary reprieve.
