Chinese students online activities monitored by "little sister"

Over 500 students in a single university monitor their fellow students use of the Internet according to an article published in the New York Times.  Based on suggestions from professors or older students, they introduce politically correct or innocuous themes for discussion - for example acceptable celebrity role models. Student forums and discussion groups are among the sites that are closely monitored.

One volunteer, a Ms. Hu beams with pride over her contribution toward building a "harmonious society." She says they don't aim to control, but instead to ensure that bad or wrong things dint appear on these websites.
