Looks like it's just a matter of time before Google.cn and all Chinese websites will be required to have "big brother" and "big sister" police images pop up and intimidate chinese web users.

At the end of the linked story is this omnious comment: "it is a test case and Shenzhen only for now".

The Chinese Ministry of Propaganda admits their intent is to intimidate:

"The main function of Jingjing and Chacha is to intimidate, not to answer questions," our reporter was told by officials in charge of The Internet Security and Surveillance Division of Shenzhen Public Security Bureau. The Internet has been always monitored by police, the significance of Jingjing and Chacha's appearence is to publicly remind all netizens to be conscious of safe and healthy use of the Internet, self-regulate their online behavior, and maintain harmonious Internet order together."
