Chinese netizens and overseas technology experts say the authorities are now successfully undermining key software used to climb over the “Great Firewall”, reports Radio Free Asia (RFA). “Tor”, a tunnelling software seems to have been targeted late, but successfully by China’s censorship technicians, and may now be losing out against the official Chinese censorship technology. Bill Xia, CEO of the company which developed software to circumvent China’s internet censorship warns that this trend will probably continue beyond the national holidays: “China is entering a new phase of technological capability, and is pouring more and more human and material resources into doing this”.
The Great Firewall may be poised for a wonderful future. Shortwave radio, too.
