Far Eastern Economic Review , 17 December : 41 Apparently, following the March 1996 US-China confrontation over Taiwan, the US side was so concerned about the danger of misperception that they subsequently undertook a series of exchanges with China's PLA precisely to, in the words of Admiral Joseph Prueher, commander-in-chief of US forces in the Pacific, 'reduce the potential for misunderstanding and miscalculation'.

China currently has about 1.2 million accounts for Internet access, and expects to have 5 million users by 2000. Beijing has set up special Internet police to catch 'cyberdissidents' who use e-mail to undermine official restrictions, but it seems unlikely that they will be able to control freedom of speech over the Internet
