"Q: Second question, the Chinese version of Wikipedia, which has been censored since last October, has been unblocked last week. What's your comment?
A: I'm not aware of the information on the website you mentioned. The Chinese Government supports and promotes the development of the internet. By 2005, China's internet subscribers reached over 123 million, and the number of Chinese websites 788 thousand. China has become the second largest internet user of the world. China administrates internet in accordance with law. This is also the usual practice by all the countries in the world. "
I'm comforted to see that the Chinese Foreign Ministry has adopted world-class responsiveness which "is also the usual practice by all the countries in the world. " ;-)
