(Epoch Times) Over 300 million Netizens are now blogging in China–a milestone that authorities find daunting and dissidents are encouraging.

According to a statement from the Ministry of Industry and Information, China has the worlds largest number of Internet users–485 million which includes 300 Bloggers.

An office established in May, “The State Internet Information Office” is tasked with among other responsibilities, to coordinate relevant departments in managing the content of China’s Internet–in other words, censoring the Internet. In an interview with Xinhua, the head of the office admits that supervising blogging is an unprecedented challenge.
