According to state media, China has not lifted its requirement that an Internet filtering program be shipped with all computers sold in the country, despite the plan's recent postponement.

China says the program, called Green Dam Youth Escort, is meant to protect children from "harmful" information online. The program blocks pornography and other content, including some related to politically sensitive issues such as criticisms of a former president. Sites are also blocked if they reference Falun Gong, the spiritual movement banned as a cult in China.
