Note:
(a) VPN stands for Virtual private network.
(b) The report is based on
Young-Sam Cho, China ‘Shenanigans’ Hindering Web Users From Evading Censors, Witopia Says. Bloomberg, Mar 11, 2011.

Quote:

"Witopia and other providers of virtual private networks, or VPNs, allow subscribers to anonymously surf blocked websites by employing private proxy servers that encrypt data.

"While VPNs are mainly used by companies to give employees secured access to corporate networks, they can also allow users to access blocked sites and help enable individuals outside of the U.S. to watch geographically restricted services such as Hulu LLC’s online videos.

(John Stuart Mill’s 1959 essay A Few Words on Non-Intervention, that if a people “have not sufficient love of liberty to be able to wrest it from merely domestic oppressors, the liberty which is bestowed on them by other hands rather than their own, will have nothing real, nothing permanent")

My comment: The same may apply to China.
