Western Conservatives have been warning that socio-politcal movements such as the leftism, socialism, and leftist-islamism have been increasing their power online, partly by sheer volume.

USA Today reported yesterday, “China Vaults Past USA in Internet Users“:

The number of Chinese on the Internet hit more than 220 million as of February, according to estimates from official Chinese statistics by the Beijing-based research group BDA China….there is strong government backing for companies such as China Netcom, which offers broadband service at $10 a month…(more)

The United States previously had more internet users than any other country online, and now communist China, at least according to its own calculations, holds that honor. PC Advisor:

China seems set to consolidate its global position, despite complaints of human rights violations and widespread internet censorship in the country. China’s population numbers 1.3 billion people, just 17 percent of which have access to the internet [compared to 71% in the U.S.].

We know these Chinese internet users aren’t watching YouTube, right? So what are they doing? The USA Today report cites internet communications and gaming. That’s not the only thing that’s going on online, however. in March, FHK’s TXPoet wrote:

Chinese “hackers” have broken into U.S.-based, German-based and several other other country’s computer networks in attempts to: steal national security information, steal economic data, steal trade secrets and perform denial of service (DNS) attacks. This is not new nor is it news to those in the Government but it seems to be to the general public. The London Times broke a story about Chinese hacking into the German Chancellery and three other German ministries in August 2007. The Financial Times reported in September 2007 that Chinese hackers had broken into a Pentagon computer network. ZDNET reported on a group of Chinese hackers in November 2005. The LA Times reported on Chinese hacking again on 4 March 2008.

The Chinese government claims these hackers are independent and have no connection with the government. Security experts say that the Chinese government is paying the hackers. It is inconceivable that China with the most highly censored Internet system in the world is not fully aware of who these hackers are and what they are doing. The Golden Shield Project, better known as the Great Chinese Firewall removes even “plausible deniability”.

Hmmm…let’s think, If They Did It, how would the Communists take over the web?
