==== Complicit in implementing state-operated internet censorship in the People's Republic of China ====
According to internal PowerPoint presentations from 2002 that surfaced online, Cisco systems knowingly supplied hardware used in China's ''Golden Shield'' project, informally known as The Great Firewall of China.

It would be good to find it archived somewhere since CNet is probably considered more reputable than Networkworld. Or we could maybe link to a Google Translate link for  the Golem article. -->
