» China's Ministry of Finance said it did not participate in the purchase of Green Dam -Youth Escort, and that MIIT alone developed and bought the controversial web-filtering software that will be shipped with all computers sold in China starting July 1.
» The finance ministry made the statement on June 24 in a reply to Liu Xiaoyuan, a Beijing-based lawyer who, on June 12, requested that the ministry disclose information about the procurement of the software.
