中共對網路資訊傳播的政治控制

China's Political Control over the Cyber World

由於擔心網際網路帶來的信息快速流通會影響國家安全與政局穩定，過去幾年來中共頒佈許多法令管制網路信息的傳播，加強查緝上網違反行為，阻止大陸網友散播與接收批評中共政權的敏感信息，甚至企圖建立自己主導的中文網路世界。不過，由於阻絕批評中共當局的信息在網路上出現的目標無法徹底達成，中共在政治、文化領域的「精神防線」已經出現一個缺口。

Due to considerations of national security and political stability, the Chinese Communist Party(CCP) has strengthened political control over the cyber world in order to prevent Chinese internet users from receiving sensitive outside information. Over the past several years, the CCP has passed a number of laws designed to regulate internet users' online activities, has arrested internet users who violated these laws, and has even attempted to build up a Chinese cyber world under the regime's jurisdiction. Since the goal to contain all online information that criticizes the CCP is unlikely to be achieved, the CCP's political control over online public opinion and the circulation of sensitive outside information becomes incomplete.
