Chinese government to Chinese citizens: these are not the perverts you're looking for. The communist party is conservative in the way the Roman Empire was conservative, for the same reason: it fosters control. The Internet is, for them, ultimately subversive. It's a dragon they can't control. Their main problem is they didn't realize this fact until they'd invited the dragon in and let it get nice and comfy. It won't consume them. China doesn't work that way. It will, however, eventually bring about their downfall. Unfortunately China doesn't know what comes next, and that very idea defines, for that country, soul-shattering terror.
