    "In China, we don't have software blocking Internet sites. Sometimes we have trouble accessing them. But that's a different problem...I've heard people say that the BBC is not available in China or that it's blocked. I'm sure I don't know why people say this kind of thing. We do not have restrictions at all."

    The Soviet newspaper Pravda('Truth') comes to mind. The name says it all, really.
