Green Dam from WikiPedia:
Green Dam Youth Escort (simplified Chinese: ??·????; pinyin: L?bà·Hu?jì Hùháng) is content-control software developed in the People's Republic of China (PRC). Under a directive from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) taking effect on 1 July 2009, it is mandatory to have either the software, or its setup files accompanied on a compact disc or pre-installed on all new personal computers sold in mainland China, including those imported from abroad. End users, however, are not under mandate to run the software.
As of 30 June 2009, the mandatory pre-installation of the Green Dam software on new computers has been delayed to an undetermined date. However, Asian brands Sony, Acer, Asus, BenQ and Lenovo etc. are shipping the software as was originally ordered.
