READ BELOW Researcher: China pays 280K people to boost its Web image - CNN

If you thought corporate "astroturfing" (fake grassroots activity) was a problem at sites like Yelp and Amazon that feature user reviews of products, imagine how much worse it would be if the U.S. government employed a couple hundred thousand people to "shape the debate" among online political forums. Crazy, right? What government would ever attempt it?

According to noted China researcher Rebecca MacKinnon, the answer is China, which allegedly employs 280,000 people to troll the Internet and make the government look good.

You dont boost your image by writing lies on the Web, but you show it in real life, by being transparent, friendly and giving people the rights to act against the government.

Ask your fellow posters in the Chinese forums, or Ministry of information . LOL.

have you wondered why they never dissent with the political leadership here . They might say something about some small province like law being unfairly applied to a poor citizen. But I have not read any political leadership dissension from any of the Chinese posters.
