The session on China threw up a real gulf between the view of the internet from inside China and those developing new services, and how the situation is portrayed in the Western media.

On a satellite link-up from Hong Kong, Rudy Chan from insisted that, aside from a few specific areas, the internet has been by and large free, adding that people could do pretty much what they wanted on it.

So while questions from the mainly Western delegates were about press freedom and net censorship, the voices from the country itself told a very different story.
