The most egregious recent example: The Chinese government announced that starting July 1, it will require the installation of rootkit software on all PCs sold in China &#8212; ostensibly to prevent its citizens from visiting "objectionable" sites on the Web. (If you believe that, I have a Great Wall to sell you.)
