China Tries to Steer Public Opinion on Web Issue

BEIJING -- China has hardened its line against U.S. criticisms of its
Internet policies following an initial period of restraint, with a
coordinated rebuttal in its state media that seemed targeted toward a
domestic audience.
Dozens of commentaries were published and broadcast across major state-run
Chinese media for a second straight day Monday calling allegations by U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Google Inc. hypocritical and
accusing the Internet company of becoming a pawn in an American "ideology
war."
The media onslaught followed a series of statements from the government
that dismissed both Mrs. Clinton's remarks on Internet freedom last week
and allegations by Google two weeks ago that sophisticated cyber attacks
targeting it and many other U.S. companies had originated in China. The
commentaries largely accused the U.S. of using "Internet freedom" as an
excuse to incite anti-China forces, to infringe on other countries'
domestic affairs and to mislead Chinese Internet users.
The blanket attempt to steer public opinion is also an implicit
recognition of the limits to the government's control over the Web in
China, as the nation's rapidly growing Internet population of 384 million
users makes the spread of information increasingly difficult to control.
State-run media outlets initially carried little or no mention of the
content of Mrs. Clinton's speech or the Google allegations, but after that
information was widely disseminated through bloggers and other unofficial
media, Chinese authorities clearly felt the need to forcefully clarify its
stance.
An opinion piece in state-run newspaper Guangming Daily on Monday said the
U.S. government "is relying on Internet technology as a tool to promote
American values in other countries. An excuse for the use of this tool is
the so-called 'free flow of information.'" The article calls the U.S.
hypocritical because it "uses its advantages of Internet technology and
hegemony " to "put a stranglehold on information that the U.S. feels is
contrary to American values," and said that the U.S. "was the first
country to introduce the concept of network warfare."
