Shirley Hung on mastery of the Chinese Internet

I spent part of Wednesday at MIT`s Communications Futures Program, where the subject at hand was internet openness. Political scientist Shirley Hung opened the afternoon session with a discussion of "a different vision of openness", looking at the Chinese internet.

Hung suggests that the regime who hold the Chinese Internet believe their internet is open, just not the way we conceive of it in the west.
