Rebecca MacKinnon would be one to ask about Internet censorship in China - she
studied it at the University of Hong Kong a few years ago, and is on the board
of Global Voices Online. She's now a fellow at the New America Foundation.

She found significant variation in ISP practices at the time.

There are persistent reports that China?s cybercensorship can

This paper Ignoring the Great Firewall of China is a few years old, but
at the time China was inspecting TCP packets for verboten keywords:

The blocking was easy to circumvent. The researchers were able to just

Rebecca's brilliant study (cited by Ivan) was about how companies which host
content domestically (in China) monitor that content and delete anything
they think doesn't belong. It has nothing to do with ISPs, and nothing to do
with the blocking of foreign content (the Great Firewall).

Hi Phillipp,
Eric, that's interesting, could you elaborate on that?
According to my own experience, deep packet inspection in China is still used
I'm not saying China doesn't do DPI. I'm just saying that, from my own

Hrm. You did actually say:
Yes-they stopped doin packet inspection in about 2008, near as I can

That's a bit confusing as we've seen direct evidence of DPI that results
in real time *probing* of Tor bridges. We know they do DPI to do this
and we know they trigger specific kinds of

The first is that DPI could be occurring at border routers, so that
traffic within China is not undergoing DPI scanning by default. If your
