    US Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said Thursday that he had raised concerns over Internet censorship and online control with Chinese officials.

    "The issue of Internet control, the issues confronted by Google, the Green Dam issue were raised," Locke told journalists on the second day of a visit to China.

    Locke discussed the issues in talks with his Chinese counterpart Chen Deming and other officials, he said. He had also met with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, along with US Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
