Recently, the Obama administration has outlined a $25 million program to promote "...technology that would allow people to circumvent Internet restrictions" (Jacobs 1). Presumably most us are quite aware of the Chinese governements habitual efforts to block certain material from the eyes of its citizens. Although the program was not intended to offend only China, the Chinese ministry spokeman has already issued a retort claiming that Chinese Internet users are "unrestricted," however there are a few guidlines "in accordance with the law." The ministry spokesman, Ma Zhaoxu, continued with how China is against any country who uses Internet freedom, namely the United States, as a mask for interfering in other's internal affairs and policies.
