China’s ‘Great Firewall’ Leak Suggests Dissent in the Ranks, Expert Says

A massive leak of more than 100,000 documents revealing the inner workings of a Chinese company that appears to sell authoritarian governments tools to censor and surveil internet users was recently posted online. Bill Xia, president of Dynamic Internet Technology (DIT), told The Epoch Times the leak was deliberate and likely internal.

DIT, founded in 2001, produces Freegate and other anti-censorship software that Chinese netizens use to circumvent the so-called Great Firewall put in place by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
