This would mark a year-over-year decline of 150%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $77.43 million, down 21.55% from the year-ago period.

In 1996, when only a few hundred thousand people were online in China, the government issued a historic edict.

At the time, few people noticed Beijing’s move to bar unfiltered access to the global Internet.

But this was the origin of the so-called “Great Firewall” – a separate Chinese Internet which over the years has become increasingly different from its more free-wheeling, and often problematic, western alternative.

It is a very different place – where the country’s government exerts far greater control and where citizens, broadly speaking, struggle to access information the state does not wish them to see.

Nearly a quarter of a century later, as tensions between the
