“China has unfurled a vigorous new campaign to clean up the Internet, to purge it of everything from pornography to ‘rumors’ that might undermine Communist Party rule, a crusade that critics say is a renewed attempt to silence grass-roots voices and stifle dissent.  Censorship of the media and Internet is routine in China, but controls on online freedom of expression have been steadily strengthened since Xi Jinping took over as president last year.  The drive, to ‘sweep out porn, strike at rumors,’ will run from mid-April until November, the party’s news portal Seeking Truth declared this week.”
