Li Yizhong: Internet to be installed in schools not in favor of the Green politicize the issue of dam
By August 13 of power industry and information Li Yizhong Minister said that the installation of “green dam” filtering software is to enable young people to stay away from undesirable network information poison, is a public act, beyond reproach. Individual non-expansion of this issue should be politicized, and even extended to attack us on the Internet management system in line with the fact that I do not think it is also irresponsible.

13 Information Office held a press conference this morning, a reporter on the “green dam” software, such as the question: With regard to “green dam”, a period of time before the information technology industry and the Department announced plans to postpone the mandatory installation of the software industry and information technology at present What the Ministry intends to?

Li said that “green dam” means a filter to fit in the computer software, to hinder the healthy growth of minors yellow filter out pornographic information. This work was started in 2006. I also mentioned, along with computers, mobile phones and so on the dissemination of information, there are a lot of yellow obscene information, video, photos, through these channels affects, poison the minors. All aspects of government and parents have received a lot of tearful complaints “Save my child.” I think this is not only appeal to parents as well as many social groups, many people hope that common. Therefore, the Ministry of industry and information technology-related sectors in line with the support from the start of this work in 2006, to the open tender, select the two filtering software, and then purchased by way of the Government buy-out of these two software products and services, in schools, Internet cafes and other public occasions, the installation of filtering software, the purpose is to filter out these harmful information, reduce, reduce the harmful to minors, it is a public act, beyond reproach.

Li said that, we first of all, in schools, Internet cafes and other public places inside the computer installed the software, just as a result of software development, filtering effect is 90%, compared the social repercussions, and hoped to expand the number of the scope. After a series of such investigations and studies, the information technology industry and the Department of May 19 this year published a paper in the domestic production of computers and computer sales, put these two software, the purpose is to alleviate and reduce the community hazards.

The original intention of this matter is based on the rules of the market, run by a voluntary basis, because after the installation of this software, you can use, you can not. When buying a computer, a free CD-ROM or floppy disk, choose the right parents, the community, but has the disadvantage, problems are ill-considered in this paper, it does not clearly expressed to us the impression that is mandatory. Therefore, this document then, in the community caused by the relatively large response, I think the vast majority of comments were well-intentioned, are ill-considered in our work to the circumstances of the comments and suggestions.

Li said, there are some people who do not know where some questioned, for example, the software after you installed is not the privacy of individuals by others on the control? In addition to the software filter pornography yellow there is no other information other than function? There are some people questioned and WTO This is not a contradiction? At home and abroad have done some of the comments, I have received the United States, Western Europe, give me some company and a letter from Mr. Chen Deming, I think most of them are well-intentioned. We have carried out June 30 Qiyue, and explained the situation and that I do not explained in detail.

However, some non-expansion of this issue should be politicized, and even extended to attack us on the Internet management system in line with the fact that I do not think it is also irresponsible. A reporter asked, we have already made it very clear that there, in the light of a variety of reasons to postpone the mandatory installation of the software. The next step how to install and pre-installed, we will listen to their views on a wide range, and improve the program. In schools, Internet cafes and other public computer, we still have to equipment. , Where the majority of consumers, we fully respect the freedom of choice, will not appear on the computer all sales must be made mandatory loaded, this problem does not exist. I believe it will make the proper treatment.

Li said that the software for their own shortcomings and deficiencies that improvements were being made, of course, we do not rule out the possibility that better software can be more choices, more market-oriented. (According to Chinese language broadcast networks finishing)

Afghanistan China passenger flights to Urumqi, 26 hours on Christmas
After a false alarm, anti-terrorism vehicles one after another from the Urumqi International Airport to evacuate Fort Wo. Around at 0:00 on the 10th, the airport returned to calm.沙达提reporter / photo

Unaware terrorist warnings before take-off, twice refused requests for aircraft

“This trip has been frustrating more than 20 hours, we almost have to catch a life … …”

Beijing at 23:40 on August 10, KMF050 smooth flight finally landed at the Urumqi International Airport and Fort Wo, brightly lit airport terminal roof, “Wu – Lu – wood – Qi” in red characters, let go trip international flights under the Mr.Pan felt comforted. However, just over the past 26 hours, or a lingering fear him.

Airport a passing police cars, inconspicuous corner of ordinary people no name calling of special vehicles, it seems to remind them that not everything is a nightmare.

The evening of August 9, Xinjiang and Fort Wo International Airport received information that, KMF050 bomb flights, airport emergency contingency plans to start a counter-terrorism. Including Mr. Pan, including five Chinese passengers on the flights.

At that time, the flights are in the 10,000 meters above the ground in Kyrgyzstan, passengers received the news only “due to a technical fault plane back,” and China’s relevant departments have already deployed an emergency, the experts stress analysis is also not suffer the terrorist hijackings of flights … …

Received before the plane took off, “bomb” alert

From the war in Afghanistan ever to fly, “7.5″ after the incident in Xinjiang, in the eyes of the outside world which is full of a “sensitive routes.” However, Mr. Pan Engineer ZTE Corporation of China, as well as four other passengers, the day did not feel there is any abnormality. Some of these passengers from China, ZTE Corporation, and some of the local copper smelting projects in Afghanistan and the Republic of hospital aid projects in Afghanistan, as the business needs to board the flight.

The afternoon of August 9, Mr. Pan and one of my colleagues go to the only international airport in Afghanistan – Kabul International Airport. They will take part in the opening day, “in Kabul – Urumqi,” the first of the Kam Air Boeing 767 passenger plane for home. Frequently between the two countries on the Sino-Argentine Mr. Pan, this is just another routine trip.

But the next 26 hours, the plane made of all 170 passengers unforgettable. In accordance with the nominal air show, aircraft, originally scheduled time at 4:30 p.m. on the 9th to take off. According to the custom of more than 1 hours in advance at the airport’s passengers, received lengthy complicated security procedures, waiting for boarding in the departure lounge.

In Afghanistan, the flight is delayed “business as usual” has. Until 17:45, the aircraft to allow passengers to board the plane and take off while passengers are not satisfied at this time but had not found any abnormalities. As everyone knows, this time it is another late take-off “facts one wishes to hide.” After that,扎莫莱卡姆加尔president of Kam Air said the plane took off before receiving a security warning that terrorists mixed on the plane, and carrying the bomb. Take-off which delayed more than an hour, that is for emergency safety inspections.

This series of security checks are carried out quietly, passengers who do not know completely “terrorist” news. After engaging in inference, the security did not show anything abnormal about the aircraft took off to do it.

“Flying about a half an hour, the cabin was about the TV screen shows the sky through Kyrgyzstan, close to the destination should have been, but at this time, we were informed the aircraft for technical reasons to return to Kabul,” at this time , Mr. Pan Ta began, “how the first flight for technical reasons there?”

“At the time of the crash that the aircraft will be”

If unknown at the time of the Chinese passengers on also just a bit strange and discontent on the ground to nest Fort Urumqi International Airport is already one of tension. Between Afghanistan and Beijing about three hours time difference. When the Afghan side “plane bomb” of the information, Urumqi, the time is the evening on the 9th. Although the security of Afghanistan to allow the aircraft after take-off as usual, but the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China made a decision to refuse entry plane and landed at the request of China. At the same time, the Urumqi International Airport and Fort Wo launched an emergency anti-terrorism plans.

Fort took place in Waterloo International Airport to the tense scene, the plane’s passengers will not know. The evening of August 9, hundreds of cars whizzing vehicles with all kinds of counter-terrorism to run the airport, the airport police, public security, fire control of the airport immediately and do a good job of hijacking, anti-explosion emergency preparedness. At 10 pm, leading to the airport road has been blocked. And around the airport filled with armed police, normally a rare, peculiar shape of special anti-terrorism rapid passing vehicles.

As the aircraft returned back to Afghanistan, until around 12:00 Beijing time, the airport gradually returning to calm anti-terrorism troops and equipment have been evacuated.

In the meantime, over the departure flight is – over the Kabul airport, ready to land. “As usual, the plane circled a few laps, and then attempt to land. We all have seen the runway, from the ground about 20-30 meters, the aircraft suddenly started shaking up and down about this with the general flow of sensory experience is not the same! “Mr. Pan recall,” I really felt that we should crash the plane, and pull up all整颗心. ”

The war in Afghanistan have experienced passengers, the crash is not far-fetched thing, Kabul up to 1800 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountains, very steep terrain, aircraft take-offs and landings are often stacked in the mountain peaks of over, large peaks or even all of a sudden blow against our faces. In 2005, the Kam Air Boeing 737 crashed on the eastern outskirts of Kabul. Therefore, the plane was a lot of passengers that the plane must crash, and have to close their eyes tight to pray silently.

“After a turbulent plane suddenly pulled up, and the stability of the fuselage, the aircraft also turned laps left Kabul,” Mr. Pan said, “It’s a bit under the passengers were nervous, and how to fly the plane where to go? ”

At this point, the radio came the voice of comfort. Radio said the plane encountered a strong wind is not a smooth landing at Kabul, Kandahar airport to the landing so.

Several times can not be landed, after twists and turns the hearts of the passengers are hanging in mid-air … …

SMS received on arrival found out after the “bomb” threat

From Kabul to Kandahar airport, the airport 1 hours, it seems very long … …

When the plane finally landed at Kandahar airport, apart from some terminal glare of lights, the surrounding dark. Kandahar is the Taliban’s “老巢” armed activities and the frequent violence, Kandahar airport and the adjacent Air Force base has always been a Taliban “coveted” an important goal.

Not far away, the roar of U.S. planes, so that the passengers have some sense of security in mind. However, when Mr. Pan and other Chinese passengers have to open their own cell phone when it is found that “dangerous” to leave their far:

“Come back! Aircraft bombs! You all right?”

“Plane was hijacked? Really? How do you like it?!” … …

Loud cry and seemed eager to penetrate the phone, passed in, an article from the domestic relatives, colleagues in Afghanistan in. Chung SMS greetings.

“At the time that Ong to head out, the scalp was numb bursts.” Mr. Pan and other four Chinese passengers quickly comes together, “Our aircraft had a problem, how do?” Everyone together, the request to leave the plane immediately.

Airlines president come to comfort

However, the request was rejected crew. A dispute between the two sides, then president of kalm卡姆加尔stand up and comfort: “Look, I am president, I am also the plane. But this is Kandahar, the U.S. military airports and bases in the next bomb deep-fried deep-fried to a long time ago. the aircraft without any problems, not only because of bad weather and landed in Kabul. “It turned out that the purpose of his company opened kalm flights,” in Kabul – Urumqi, “the inaugural flight, including the president, including卡姆加尔more than senior management, are also on board during the flight.

卡姆加尔or some effect, then, everyone calmed down. However, not to leave the aircraft, sitting in the plane or concern about a bomb threat, 170 passengers on the plane was removed so the night stewing.

Local time at 4:00 on the 10th, the aircraft flew to Kabul from Kandahar. Arrived in Kabul airport, the passengers finally allowed to leave the plane, you can lounge at the airport, but not allowed to remove the luggage.

“Tossing more than 20 hours, we have to fly back to Kabul, and almost catch life.” Poon said: “all tired and hungry, we really do not want to take kalm aircraft, and even if they can not refund, but also intend to switch to other flights. “However, the Chinese passenger aircraft for airlines have been asked once again rejected on the grounds that” now stacked luggage in the baggage sealed cabins, from the security point of view we can not to 5 individuals, the luggage compartment to re – over again. ”

Fortunately, the company’s flights kalm re-license the Chinese side, the passengers were in the fourth over after the security search and baggage check. Time the aircraft in Afghanistan on the 10th at about 5:10 or so off, and after three hours in a smooth, arrived in Urumqi.

By “sensitive services” need psychological quality

The morning of August 10, after a false alarm, Kam Air with the person in charge of airport security in Kabul held a joint news conference to explain in detail the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Police force in charge of Kabul airport hill people Jabbar said at 11 o’clock on August 9, the airport received the Arab-Israeli anti-terrorism department of the Ministry of the Interior warned that several suspected terrorists on the 9th into Kam Air flight to fly to Urumqi and trying to land the plane after the launch bomb attacks in Urumqi.

Kalm卡姆加尔company said that the aircraft took off from Kabul on the 9th before the acceptance of the Airport Security Force, the foreign professional security personnel and the Office of the President of the triple Guard inspection found no suspicious explosive, but the airspace to fly to Kyrgyzstan was refused transit, had returned to Kabul.

卡姆加尔speculated that the “hoax” was a number of competitors with the terrorist threat trying to improper competitive manner. Prior to this, the company’s routes in Turkey have suffered similar incidents. He asked in the two countries conduct a thorough investigation into the matter the security sector.

Terrorist situation, mixed with commercial competition, so that contacts in this “route sensitive” passengers uneasy. According to a person familiar with the situation, the flight is still in Afghanistan need a little psychological quality, because the airport is not subjected to fire any new attacks. The early morning of August 4, rocket attacks on Kabul by 7, 4 of which falls on the direction of the airport.

In the prevalence of terrorism and drugs in Afghanistan, flying from the need of the country than the average times of strict security checks. For the average passenger, the check from the region began to enter the airport: the airport police guard post outside the district, and an armored vehicle guard in this long-term, at least six armed with AK-47 assault rifle near a police patrol in the guard post, check into the airport each zone.

At this point, the car’s passengers to get off here, all hand-held luggage, searched and baggage checks accepted. For female passengers, the search is also inevitable, the airport has a search room for women, female staff members from the airport to be checked. From entering the airport area to the exit, passengers are generally required “to put up with” three times and searched, and the X-ray checked baggage screening procedures for all.
