U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China: Beijing said West used Twitter and YouTube for subversive purposes, citing Moldova and Iran

The United States Congressional-Executive Commission on China posted its annual report in the fall of 2009.

In the sub-chapter on censorship of the internet, the report says that "in August 2009, the Chinese military newspaper PLA Daily warned that Twitter and YouTube were being used by Western forces as subversive tools, citing their use by those opposed to election results in Moldova and Iran."

The full report (warning: it is a 468-page PDF file) can be read here.
