This week, China introduced its RedPad based on Andriod. It is much more expensive than Apple’s iPad but it has feeds from all sorts of official Chinese government agencies and organs and is intended for the busy Communist cadre who has little time to sit at a desk and browse the web. The government perhaps hopes that this will help counter the largely critical comments spread through a twitter-like site Weibo.
