BEIJING (Reuters) - China's Communist Party mouthpiece on Sunday accused the United States of mounting a cyber army and a "hacker brigade," and of exploiting social media like Twitter or Youtube to foment unrest in Iran.
Technology | China
The People's Daily accused the United States of controlling the Internet in the name of Internet freedom after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for more Internet freedoms in China and elsewhere in a speech on Thursday.
China on Friday warned that Washington's push against Internet censorship could harm ties.
"Behind what America calls free speech is naked political scheming. How did the unrest after the Iranian elections come about?" said the editorial, signed by Wang Xiaoyang.
"It was because online warfare launched by America, via Youtube video and Twitter microblogging, spread rumors, created splits, stirred up, and sowed discord between the followers of conservative reformist factions."
China has blocked Youtube since March, the anniversary of uprisings in Tibet, and Twitter since June, just before the 20th anniversary of a crackdown on protestors in and near Tiananmen Square. Facebook has been down since early July.
The People's Daily editorial asked rhetorically if obscene information or activities promoting terrorism would be allowed on the Internet in the U.S.
"We're afraid that in the eyes of American politicians, only information controlled by America is free information, only news acknowledged by America is free news, only speech approved by America is free speech, and only information flow that suits American interests is free information flow," it said.
Clinton's speech came shortly after Google revealed a sophisticated hacking attack, and said it might close its google.cn Chinese search engine if it could not find a way to offer a legal, unfiltered search service in China.
"Everyone with technical knowledge of computers knows that just because a hacker used an IP address in China, the attack was not necessarily launched by a Chinese hacker," Zhou Yonglin, deputy operations director of the National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team, said in an interview carried in a number of Chinese newspapers on Sunday.
Zhou mentioned an outage suffered by Chinese search engine Baidu on January 12 but did not mention that it was attacked by the Iranian Cyber Army, which had previously attacked Twitter, nor that Chinese hackers launched retaliatory attacks on Iranian sites the next day.
The People's Daily also denounced a May ban on Microsoft's instant messaging services to nations covered by U.S. sanctions, including Cuba, Iran, Syria, Sudan and North Korea, as violating the U.S. stated desire for free information flow.

Why do we continue to trade with this country? All the U.S. gets from this relationship is a huge trade deficit, loss of jobs and constant harrassment.

Why trade with China. For one reason, if you had to pay billy bob in Kansas to make your clothes you would be broke. If not for China, American prices would skyrocket 500 percent but China keeps absorbing US dollars by buying US treasuries. This also allows the US govt. to keep borrowing US dollars. “Communist party mouthpiece”? If anything the US media is the most controlled in the world. Why doesn’t reuters publish information about
1. 911 was an inside job..there is irrefutable evidence of controlled demolition.
Why is the US in Afghanistan? To run oil pipelines through the Caspian sea and control the Opium trade. Al qaida is just a myth created by the CIA. If not for Al CIAda the US would have no reason to be in the middle east and would have to leave. Do your own research and you will also discover that Obama is an actor working for the real controllers in Washington, the CFR and Trilateral Commision (both Rockefeller front groups). Let’s hear about this Reuters! Reuters is a Fascist Party mouthpiece that just gives you one side of the story.

You are right that China provides the US with cheap goods and then buys US Treasuries with the dollars they absorb. But there are people lined up around the block ready to buy US Treasuries, so even if China dumps their share there are plenty of others to buy them. Practice what you preach, do you own research. China is not the largest owner of US Treasuries.
The rest of your comment is non-sense. There is no solid evidence that 911 was an inside job, that is just conspiracy theory. I saw Zeitgiest too and nearly everything in that movie and it’s wannabes has since been shown to be false through solid evidence. And al-Qaida being fake? Are you serious?

What a bunch of hoopla… yes our prices would go up 500%. But then supply and demand would bring it back to a level that the market would support and workers would accept.
‘Free Trade’ is an economic tool to allow the short term returns that come from bypassing the laws of capitalism by allowing one sided trade with a country that does not follow a capitalistic model, has protectionistic policies allow free trade on the surface only, and human right violations in it factories and manufacturing sectors that would turn the clock back 150 years.
‘Welcome to Walmart’ folks… for 50 years you will have very cheap goods on the back of psuedo slave labor and the collapse of the entire American manufacturing base.
Heaven forbid we actually put our money where our mouth is and (dear god what a concept) see a slight dip in our immediate quality of life as prices rise, but then find it is worth it to re-invest in American workers and industry.
How about tax breaks for AMERICAN products and manufacturing throughout the supply chain process?
Folks the banking industry is a mirror to our nation, we all share the blame for the collaspe over the past few years. Why, becuase we sell our children and grandchildren out, along with our American brothers and sisters in manufacturing, for the quick profit and short term deflated prices.

China is afraid of freedom of speech! They are afraid of change, most specially a change in the system of governance. Nothing is constant, they must accept the fact that someday, Chinese people will realize the essence of freedom!
At this point in time, it is evident that countries who dislike the U.S are countries who are controlled by “autocratic” rulers. These rulers creates a constant smoke screen on its people. They are just afraid, that one-day, their people might see the truth and meaning of life and freedom. And their merrymaking may soon end.

Why everyone talks about buying chinese goods? people buy chinese shirts or shoes, is because markets says so, what makes it so wrong???
When you don’t shoes from China, dose it mean American people will buy American ones???
Here’s about the Google threatening china to quit china, and Uncle Sam says “information free flow”….
I have a requitest to REUTERS, that, pleast do a report about how other countries manage their policies on internet, to see wheather countries like UK, Germany, Austrilia, Korea, Japan, even Iran or Russia, do they have absolute “Free flow of information”?
Then people will probably know how hypocritical it is About Uncle Sam.
