Rather than merging with the talents of the global gene pool as any good Socialist would do, China has a better idea. They will make their own and, gee, aren't you the li'l Asian capitalists now. Ooh. (Phys.org: China to launch own encyclopaedia to rival Wikipedia)
China plans to launch its own online encyclopaedia next year, hoping to build a "cultural Great Wall" that can rival Wikipedia as a go-to information source for Chinese Internet users who Beijing fears are being corrupted by foreign influences
Note: apparent stock photo of people who are probably not Chinese
China is under pressure to write its own encyclopaedia so it can guide public thought, according to a statement by the project's executive editor Yang Muzhi published last month on the website of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
He once listed Wikipedia, which is available in China, and Britain's Encyclopaedia Britannica as potential rivals and said the project aims to exceed them, according to an article he wrote late last year.
