20 Years After Tiananmen, China Stifles Online Dissent
alphadogg writes with this snippet from Network World: "The Internet has brought new hope to reformists in China since the country crushed pro-democracy protests in the capital 20 years ago. But as dissidents have gone high-tech, the government in turn has worked to restrict free speech on the Internet, stifling threats to its rule that could grow online. China has stepped up monitoring of dissidents and Internet censorship ahead of June 4, when hundreds were killed in 1989 after Beijing sent soldiers to its central Tiananmen Square to disperse protestors. The authoritarian government wants to ensure that date and other sensitive anniversaries this year pass without public disturbances, observers say. In recent months, China has blocked YouTube and closed two blog hosting sites, bullog.cn and fatianxia.com, known for their liberal content."
As a Chinese who's born in China, raised in China and now lives in China, i hardly agree with your comments (of course).
History is just a past story which we argue, fight and if neither of us loses the fight forever, then agree with.
I do know those war against USSR, to me the Russians are insatiable bears always hunger for territory. You may refer to those so called agreements in the late Qind dynasty for more information. I do know those issues with Tibet because Dalai Lama is kinda famous among you guys. In fact, Dalai Lama is a title which is just a largess from a emperor in Qing dynasty. To balance the power out, then Panchen Lama comes along. I do know the war with India, and there's still a territory pending for its belonging.
And about Korea, we just tell each other's version of history once again, don't we.
To be more specific, as a person from a country who may lied in front of the world, twice (the moon, 911, and thanks to your so called indymedia btw), your source of information may not be quite accurate either.
And i do hate those commies btw.
