It is reported today that China is recruiting top IT graduates from the United States, presumably mainly Asian- and/or Chinese-Americans because of perceived shared culture, in order to assist the Chinese government to monitor the Internet. It is ironic that China is using IT and IT professionals to control free expression since the basis of this industry is premised on the free and unfettered exchange of ideas.
We will just have to wait and see if any nerds take up the offer. Perhaps, especially if they throw in a couple of hot chicks.
