Starting September 1, police in China's capital will use animated officers to walk, bike or drive across a user's browser viewing 13 of China's top portals every half hour with warnings to stay away from illegal Internet content. By the end of the year will appear on all Web sites registered with Beijing servers. The animated police appeared designed to startle Web surfers and remind them that authorities closely monitor Web activity. The male and female cartoon officers, designed for the ministry by Sohu, will offer a text warning to surfers to abide by the law and tips on Internet security as they move across the screen in a virtual car, motorcycle or on foot. Clicking on the cartoon images will redirect the user to the authority's Web site.

Although of course I think their lack of internet/media freedom is a bad thing.
the former soviet union allowed a little freedom. The people demanded to be free once they saw the grass really was
greener on the other side of the fence. I remember one story where a man immigrated to the USA from Russia, and
the first time he went to a supermarket, he told someone that he realized that what his former country had told him for YEARS about the west was a lie.
Until the PLA (peoples liberation army) releases its grip on the chinese people, it will never change.
