China's Silicon Valley Wants You, Offers Million Dollar Payments to Move There

If the government of China really wants to attract tech entrepreneurs, I think the great firewall is going to be a real problem. I wonder if they'll use a model akin to the old "special economic zones" where in certain high tech regions the internet is not filtered.

From talking to my Chinese friends, it seems like the government is less afraid of the elite having access to information than the hoi polloi, so that wouldn't be inconsistent with a "free internet zone".
