Scaling the Great Firewall of China

China's Communist Party...meeting begins today. One way this affects American business is that during this meeting, China shuts down thousands of websites... [For] Danny Levinson, who manages corporate e-mail and publishes 30 online journals, political season here is a perennial pain. The Internet is always a little slow when the party gets going. "...it really impacts international business and domestic business -- especially with the closure of websites. What it basically is creating is a void in China of information." Levinson says building an information-based economy without a healthy Internet may cost China in the long run. Not everybody's losing money though. The modified routers that China uses to censor were bought from...Cisco Systems.
