The Chinese government have made it mandatory for all PCs in the country to have software installed that screens out "offensive material". Basically they don't want the population knowing about, let alone discussing, such awkward things as the Tienanmen Square massacre.
Unfortunately for the communist government the software only runs on Windows and only filters Internet Explorer! Using Firefox or Opera easily gets around it.
Unfortunately for Chinese computer users, despite this easy workaround, their computers are made more open to malicious hackers due to a security flaw the government software contains.
