China Blanks Nobel Peace Prize Searches

1 a bee writes "CNN is reporting that China is attempting to block all communication regarding Peace prize winner Liu Xiaobo. Even texting is affected: 'Text-messaging on mobile phones is not immune from censors, either. A Shanghai-based netizen, @littley, tweeted his unfortunate experience: "My SIM card just got de-activated, turning my iPhone to an iPod touch after I texted my dad about Liu Xiaobo winning the Nobel Peace Prize."' Might as well add Slashdot to the censored list." Further coverage is available from NBC.

well Asshole to you too, asshole. If an American living in China thinks he can generalize what Chinese people want, I find no problem generalizing what kind of person he is. This is based on thousands of stories I've heard over many years.
We are never short of Americans sympathizing with communist governments. Some of you are even in our textbooks, proving how communist party is loved by the entire world. Well, to these Americans, fuck you.
