The olympic games in China started officially today. A lot of people believe that with this event, chinese people will get more freedom. But, in fact, what is really changing? What does China´s government will do after the olympic games end? I honestly cannot think as an optimistic with this reality. Some people thought that at time the country opens economics, it opens politically. However, the economy is opening since 10 years ago. The international community admits that cannot make nothing after China got a powerful country. Sarkozy and Bush´s speeches in their own countries will not work for a country that does not allow foreign television´s networks.

Now, to conquer the freedom is a challenge that only chinese people can got it. Although, the olympic games will not be smaller because of  a communist dictatorship.

While the China´s government still with censorship about websites, you can have fun by yourself. The GIFC (Global Internet Freedom Consortium) offers an anti-censorship software to help the people to have free access to the internet. GIFC partner organizations developed tools of all types and flavors since 2000. Some tools like UltraSurf, FreeGate, Garden, Garden, GPass and FirePhoenix are already being used for chinese navigators. The Organization says that nearly one million users are usings that tools arround the world.

So, if you need enable the enable the freedom at internet in China, you have just to dowmload the tools at http://www.internetfreedom.com. There is no charge for that. Enjoy it!
