Conference about 'Realities of the Internet' Held in Hong Kong

This year's Chinese Internet Research Conference was held at Hong Kong University June 13-14 under the theme, "China and the Internet: Myth and Realities."

The conference, sponsored by the Journalism and Media Studies Centre of the University of Hong Kong, focused on issues such as whether the Internet brings more democracy to a country, whether there is freedom of expression on the Internet or whether the Chinese use the web only for entertainment purposes.

The event also explored the political, social, economic, cultural and institutional aspects of the Internet in China.
