Also, this should certainly not come as any surprise. China (along with many other coutries) has a long history of severe censorship. Journalists have been executed in the past for not adhering to the "best interests" of the nation. Now, with the internet as vast and uncharted as it stands in relation to orthodoxed journalism, censorship is becomming a more dismal task. This just simply goes in line with China's overall view of the internet. One question comes to mind however. Does China have any say over sites administered by chinese people, but hosted on foreign ground?
