CHINESE police are seeking a man who said he threw eggs and shoes at the architect of China's ''great firewall'', the world's most sophisticated and extensive online censorship system.
The claim was cheered by many internet users, in a reflection of growing anger over increasingly stringent controls.

My golf clubs get plenty of attention and my golf balls demand my full focus to iPads, sex and jobs.
The office of Fang Binxing - known as the father of the great firewall - denied the attack had happened, while Wuhan University in Hubei province,CL Shoes are highly sought after and you are indeed lucky if you can have one sitting in your closet where the incident reportedly happened, said it was not aware of it.
But the Associated Press said police were sent to the university to investigate a shoe-throwing incident targeting Mr Fang on Thursday,Hence the prada men shoes was double stitched with action leather and low outlined sole citing an officer at the local public security bureau.
A Hong Kong activist had posted a message saying Mr Fang was giving a speech at Wuhan and urging students to ''prepare''.
The Twitter user who claimed to have pelted him, who posts under the pseudonym @hanunyi, wrote: ''The egg missed the target. The first shoe hit the target. The second shoe was blocked by a man and a woman.''
Following the outpouring of glee, he later added: ''I didn't think this little thing would get such a big response.''
Many of China's estimated 477 million internet users appear largely indifferent to the firewall because they almost solely use domestic sites and services.
