China's Goverment is in a communist state right now. i think the goverments influence of technology is that they want them not have as little acuss to it as they can so thye dont get drawn into differnt things that could ponetilly hurt them. the rights of the citzens are that each fmaily can only have on child per family to help keep the popultaion at a steady rate instead of having has many childern as they want. i think they do try and only let the people on the computers for a certain amount of time durning the week or even everyday. The goverments sturcture on things help keeps them doing other things instead of being on the computer when ever they want to and keeping some things blocked off for the entire countries safety and well being. Another fact is that all childern will be only childs because they are not allowed to have the larege family some of them may have wanted.
