With Olympics Over, China Re-Censors Internet

Posted by timothy on from the escape-from-zì-yóu dept.

eldavojohn writes "We last left the story of Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China when the IOC had reached a deal with the Chinese government whereby some of the press restrictions were lifted. With the 2008 Olympics now but a memory, China has began censoring foreign news sources again. Maybe the West is making too big of a deal over this, as many Chinese citizens seem to like it that way."

    I sort of wish I could at least find a news source or three that doesn't try to sell me the news by adding all sorts of ridiculous sensationalism. I just want facts, researched, well-written, reviewed, facts.

    Perhaps a socialized news service that doesn't get paid by the paper or the advertising hit? NPR doesn't count because it also has its bias (left).
