Lin Hai, the defendant, is charged with "inciting subversion of state power." Prosecutors say that from September 1997 until his arrest in March, Lin gave tens of thousands of Chinese e-mail addresses to "hostile foreign publications." In particular, they say, he provided addresses to an electronic newsletter called VIP Reference, which is compiled by Chinese democracy advocates in Washington and sent to hundreds of thousands of computer-users inside China. ... "We're promoting freedom of speech on the Internet," said Feng Donghai, a software engineer at Columbia University who moved to the United States three years ago and helped start VIP Reference last fall. "They are putting Lin Hai on trial to set an example." The main VIP Reference, sent out every 10 days, mostly includes essays and debates on democratic topics. A subsidiary Daily News edition, sent daily, includes detailed accounts of dissident initiatives and arrests. The main newsletter is now sent to more than 250,000 addresses in China, said its publisher, Lian Shengde, who spoke from Washington. The Daily News edition goes to about 25,000, and the numbers are steadily climbing as sympathizers send in lists of Chinese addresses. ... "We're posing a new problem for the Communists," said Lian, a software engineer in his 30s who moved from China after the 1989 military crackdown on student-led demonstrators in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. "I don't think there's any way they can stop us." ... A third newsletter, Public Opinion, is edited and distributed electronically from inside China. It includes commentaries and reprints of items taken off the Internet and is produced by a group of young computer company workers who call themselves "political netters." Over the last year, these newsletters, plus assorted online discussion groups, have become important means of communication among political activists, said Xiao Qiang, executive director of Human Rights in China in New York. .. China uses an electronic "firewall" to block access to Web sites it deems objectionable, including those of human rights groups and some considered pornographic. But it cannot keep up with new sites, and clever users can sidestep the firewall. E-mail is virtually uncontrollable, although agents can identify a particular individual and read that person's mail. ... Somehow, the authorities zeroed in on Lin. Last week, Lin's wife, Xu Hong, learned that his trial will begin on Nov. 26 but will be a closed proceeding so that she cannot attend. The lawyers she hired will be present but, Ms. Xu said by telephone, "I'm afraid the lawyers won't have much influence on the results." If convicted as charged, Lin may face a prison sentence of five years or more. He and his wife have a 20-month-old son. ... full text http://www.nytimes.com/library/tech/yr/mo/biztech/articles/16 china-internet.html relayed by David Banisar <banisar@epic.org> -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by published on: 1998-11-17 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
