Cisco Systems, Inc ("Du v. Cisco"), including the names of his contacts in China and America...Mr. Du has long been a victim of China's Cisco-engineered "Golden Shield Project," a sophisticated system of Internet filters and censoring techniques, which both restricts access to content disfavored by the CCP, and allows "Internet police" to identify the sources of such disfavored content.
