Behind the Great Firewall of China

Here’s a hugely important video that is difficult to understand and impossible to show in most classrooms. “China is complicated,” says Michael Anti, a Chinese blogger. Anti takes viewers behind the Chinese Internet firewall, to reveal two Internets: the global one we are familiar with, and the Chinese version of the Internet. Anti calls the Chinese Internet the Chinanet, and it here that the fight between government censorship and individual freedom rages. A fascinating look at the workings of a very complex culture.
