Lu Wei, the figure leading the Chinese government bodies responsible for internet censorship brought everyone to laugh - or to tears, depending on your mood - again, when he denied that there would be censorship of content in China. Instead, he spoke of management and claimed that the kind of content they don't allow Chinese users to access is content which would harm the interests of the people. Too bad the people themselves aren't allowed to decide what harms their interests and what is useful info. Maybe they would re-evaluate the performance of their government. That would be horrible for them, I'm sure.
Of course there is no censorship in China, who ever thought otherwise?
