China Think Tank Expert: Internet Freedom "Completely Anathema"

On July 14, 2011, the state-sponsored Southern Weekend published an article entitled “‘Targeted Attacks on Networks,’ Who Is The Main Culprit?” (“网络特攻”,谁主沉浮?). Some excerpts:
The international strategy for the Internet space formulated by the United States promotes so-called "Internet freedom," advocates an Internet without walls, and opposes sovereignty over the Internet. [Ning Jiajun, Deputy Director, Expert's Committee, State Information Center (国家信息中心专家委员会主任宁家骏) said:] "These are all things that are completely anathema to many of the things in our country, and when one reads between the lines, they represent a significant threat to us."

而美国制定网络空间国际战略,推行所谓“网络自由”,主张不受隔离的互联网,反对网络主权,“这些都和我们国家的很多东西是截然相反的,字里行间对我们有很大的威胁。”
