After its initial embarrassment by Twitter in 2009, the Iranian government was able to suppress the country’s “green” movement in 2010. Similarly, while the “great firewall of China” is far from perfect, the government has managed thus far to cope, even as the Internet has burgeoned in the country.
2009年在Twitter上吃亏后，2010年伊朗政府已有能力镇压该国的“绿色”运动。类似地，尽管“中国长城”远远称不上完美，但到目前为止中国政府仍然游刃有余，尽管该国的互联网出现了蓬勃发展。
