internet - China sells surveillance equipment to Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is buying high-tech equipment from China to bug the internet, writes Zim Online. While details are lacking, China seems to tap into yet another IT-market where it claims to have a competitive edge.
Foreign IT giants have traditionally been blamed by human right activist of assisting China by controlling the internet, but the country now seems to be confident enough about its own progress to sell it elsewhere.
The question whether this kind of technology is really working is still an open question. China is in the middle of a People's War against Pornography on the internet, but seems mostly to rely on phone calls from concerned citizens and less on technology.
