An interview with a Chinese official from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology pretty much confirmed what everyone knew all along: that the Internet Firewall set up by the Chinese regime provides the environment that makes possible the success of Chinese tech and Internet giants such as Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent.
The Wall Street Journal, quoting the Global Times (a Chinese media with ties to the Chinese regime), said that Ministry of Industry and Information Technology official Wen Ku declared that “China’s Internet companies owe their successes to the ‘good policy environment’ created by the Chinese government.”
