China Detains Internet Essayist for Subversion

Posted by Cliff on from the watching-what-you-say dept.

romcabrera writes: "Reuters reports that 'Chinese authorities have detained a civil servant, whose essays are banned by Beijing on the Internet, on charges of subversion'. According to the article, China has created a special Internet Police Force which 'blocks some foreign sites and shuts down domestic sites posting politically incorrect fare'."

      And I thank (a God) if there is one that I do.

      We lead the world's technological revolution.

      Our government gives money and training to the poor to help them improve their lives. If they don't use it that way, it's not anyone elses' problem.

      We have on of the highest literacy rates in the world.

      We have saved the asses of every other major western country at one time or another (mostly WW II).

      Our short history and culture isn't by choice and was greatly influenced by much older culture. After all we were just colonies of the older western civilizations.

      Our government is one of the people, not the state (unlike China).

      You can actually become rich and powerful if you try.

      We have the RIAA and and DMCA protecting our "digital rights". Oh wait, they both suck.

      You're nothing but jealous.

      Mostly abysmal argument (China did not spent billions on invading Tibet, and to say the US has accomplished everything China has is stupid -- what about the history and culture? You can't just buy that with your dollars).

      The most laughable part is that document you link to. Those are _RECORDED_ crimes, OK? If you look at it, China, India and Uganda are all extremely low -- far, far lower than European countries and the USA. Yet it's pointless to say those countries are therefore safer; downtown Chungking and Calcutta are dodgy places to be at times.

      Recorded crimes are very different from the truth.

      I don't know if you're being sarcastic, but it's pretty well documented that the US had quite a bit of influence in creating the modern Jihadi movement. Soviet-Afghani/CIA secret war, anyone?
