internet - China tries to reinvent itself - Orvill Schell

Orvill Schell, the dean of the journalism school at Berkeley university painted China as a country with two sides: one dynamically developing, and other one lagging behind. "China is in itself a contradition," he said at the conference 'China's Digital's Future'.
The internet is a - still incomplete - place where discussions and discours is developing. "It is a new way how Chinese communicate with each other."
China tries to control a technology that is by its character very hard to control, he added. "China tries to keep out what it finds undesirable, while adopting the things its wants."
