China keeps close eye on growing Internet use

BEIJING (CNN) -- The Internet has made 33-year-old Charles Zhang a multimillionaire. His company was the first to create a Chinese language search engine, called SOHOO. Traffic on his Web site has more than doubled in the past six months.

The success of SOHOO mirrors the Internet's explosive growth in the world's most populous nation. China has 1.2 million Internet users. By 2000, an estimated 5 million will be exploring the World Wide Web.

"These people all use SOHOO, so I feel that if there is anything going on, and people want to participate, I can make it happen. I feel a kind of power," Zhang says.

Young people are signing up for Internet accounts in droves, eager to tap into the world of e-mail and downloads.

But their government warns there are limits to what users will be allowed to do. Communist Party leaders closely monitor the Internet, and their filters block sites that are pornographic or critical of the government.

"We hope the Internet enters every household, but we must prohibit harmful things or there will be chaos," said Telecom official Zhao Honglin.


Conventioneers bustle to become Internet subscribers

Computer entrepreneur Lin Hai knows firsthand the consequences of government monitoring. The Internet service company owner was arrested in March and charged with "inciting the overthrow of state power."

The government claims Lin gave addresses of 30,000 Chinese computer users to an online pro-democracy magazine run by Chinese dissidents in the United States.

In his four-hour trial December 4, Lin said he exchanged the addresses only to get overseas accounts for his business, not to undermine the government.

"Lin Hai was always exchanging e-mail addresses with lots of people," said Lin's wife, Xu Hong. "This was a normal business deal. When the police first barged into our homes, we had no idea why they had come."

A verdict is expected at any time. But either way, Internet users say, Lin's case is a warning to computer enthusiasts that whenever they visit new sites or send e-mail, the government could be watching.
