In the Internet censorship battle in China, the technical advantage has shifted against the government because of two free programs, Freegate and UltraSurf, produced by Chinese emigres in the United States who are members of the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement. Both work with computer networks outside China to lead users past government filters to Web pages with Falun Gong material attacking the Communist Party. Once past the firewall, users can visit any blocked site, including the blog that Zhao Jing maintains on an overseas server, the online encyclopedia Wikipedia and dissident news forums.
