			<description><![CDATA[At last week's <a href="http://jmsc.hku.hk/blogs/circ">Chinese Internet Research Conference</a>, much discussion of the "myths and realities" of the Chinese Internet revolved around images, metaphors, and paradigms. In his award-winning paper titled <a href="http://jmsc.hku.hk/blogs/circ/schedule/the-great-firewall-as-iron-curtain-20-the-implications-of-china%E2%80%99s-internet-most-dominant-metaphor-for-us-foreign-policy/">The Great Firewall as Iron Curtain 2.0</a>, UPenn PhD Student <a href="http://www.lokman.org/">Lokman Tsui</a> argued that "our use of the Great Firewall metaphor leads to blind spots that obscure and limit our understanding of internet censorship in the People's Republic." <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/86183_chinese_internet_conference_iron_curtain">More...</a>]]></description>

The paragraph that's freaking people out is: "Under the new system, besides "CN", three Chinese TLD names "CN", "COM" and "NET" are temporarily set.

Not for the first time, it appears that the People's Daily's English translation is very misleading. <a href="http://www.circleid.com/posts/chinas_new_domain_names_lost_in_translation">More...</a>]]></description>
