A Russian group working to restrict information on the Internet is seeking advice from Chinese experts. Russia’s Safe Internet League met in Moscow last month with China’s powerful censors, including Fang Binxing. He is known as one of the creators of “The Great Firewall of China.” The Safe Internet League is registered as a non-governmental organization. But it reportedly has links to important Russian officials. Observers say the recent meeting shows that government officials in the two countries want to increase their control of the Internet. Fang spoke to the gathering about “cyber sovereignty.” He said national borders should be guarded in the online world as they are in the real world. And he said foreign interference with a country’s government should not be accepted. Lu Wei is China’s chief of cybersecurity and Internet policy. He said online freedom is not a right but a responsibility. He said it should be limited because it could lead to terrorism, according to a message on the social media website Twitter from a Financial Times newspaper reporter.
