Blogging Sweeps China
An anonymous reader writes "Dissident astro-physicist, Xiao Qiang, director of the China Internet Project at UC Berkeley, interviews Isaac Mao, founder of CNBlog for New Scientist. Asked what is his strategy to expand blogging under China's censorship regime, Mao's response is typically Taoist: 'What is our strategy? We do not have a strategy. But the information flow in the blogosphere has its own Way. The Way is our strategy: personal, fast, connected and networked.'"
Taking a look at some of their latest news, it's hard to reconcile the rosy glow that they have in regards to their country with the actual happenings of their military overseas
Yes, people in the United States would NEVER be fed a totally unrealistic and rosy view of what their military is doing overseas!
You have to be fucking kidding. Unless you ARE the chinese government-run news agency(who must have recently recruited the Iraqi Information Minister), you have been living under a rock for a couple decades...
Free speech? Bullshit. It isn't even that they have transparent censorship. They have downright oppression. Everyone breathing should know this by now.
Isn't this the same government that ran over students protesting with a tank. A TANK.
America has, in my opinion, a rediculously poor record for our free speech record. But even the 60's protest issues don't hold a candle to the crap Chinese dissidents and citizens have to deal with.
If that was a joke, you failed miserably.
