Help Chinese People Access the Worldwide Web
China's Internet firewall restricts access by users in China to all sorts of information on the Internet. These users would certainly benefit from technical solutions that enable them to circumvent these restrictions.The current monitoring regime in China also makes it difficult for users to communicate without being monitored by official censors. Access to communication technologies enabling these users to communicate securely and anonymously in their native language would create a better environment for free expression. In the past, a number of attempts have been made in this direction. The technology-savvy community can help to introduce or fine-tune existing tools in order to expand access to information for Chinese users. These users would especially benefit from the following:
- Tools to help Chinese users in a public-access environment (such as a cybercafe) to send or receive encrypted messages using Web browsers;
- Automatic services that support Chinese language and that allow users to search blocked web sites by email;
- Public access and easy-to-use anonymous web surfing facilities; and
- A website in Chinese with up-to-date information about security and privacy on the Internet, how to use proxy servers, how to use privacy protection tools, and related issues.
