It is almost amusing to read in the Australian (Rowan Callick, "Calamity transforms the face of China")
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23737501-25837,00.html
about how China could no longer hide their natural disasters because of the mobile network. Similar views have been expressed elsewhere in the Western media.
Perhaps they have forgotten that the mobile phone network was built by the Chinese government. Or are they implying that the Chinese government did not know what mobile phones could be used for until one day when the earthquake struck and it was too late ?
Wake up, Rowan, it is called the Information Age and technological progress.
