U.S. Internet Companies
Business/Technology Editors
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 13, 1999--Tiananmen
Square Democracy Movement Leader, two-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee
and current Internet company president Chai Ling is available for
comment and interviews on Chinese Premier Zhu Ronghi's April 14 MIT
speech on technology, education and the opening of China to U.S.
Internet companies. Premier Zhu has pledged that in order to win U.S.
support for entrance into the WTO, China would allow 100 percent U.S.
equity-owned Internet companies to register to do business in China.
"Tear down this firewall that blocks the Chinese people from
freely communicating on the Internet," said Chai Ling, challenging
Premier Zhu to follow through on his promise to allow U.S. Internet
companies to register in China. "In China people are arrested for
using the Internet for free speech. The Internet is a new and powerful
means of communication that if stifled not only hurts free speech, but
China's ability to do business in the new Internet economy."
"The Internet is a powerful tool for communication and free
speech, a technology that knows no country boundaries and empowers
people to change," said Chai Ling, who founded Jenzabar.com after
realizing the power of the Internet as a communications tool. "The
Internet and technology business can bridge the gap between U.S. and
China relations, bringing more freedom to the people of China."
Chai Ling, with her twin perspectives from political activist and
Internet company CEO, is available for commentary on Premier Zhu and
China's position on free speech, technology and China's entrance into
the WTO. Chai Ling is available for phone and live interviews in
Boston on April 13 and 14. For more information or interviews please

Jenzabar.com will be among the first U.S. Internet companies to
register in China, pending Premier Zhu's commitment to open his
country to such trade. Jenzabar.com is an Internet start-up dedicated
to bringing Internet technologies to universities and colleges,
fostering communication and collaboration among students and faculty
worldwide.
