The government has banned the netbars from letting children in. However, most the netbar managers just want more money and, whoever pays them, they let them in. That's why the government is taking action.
Do you guys really know something about the net cafes (we call it netbar here) in China? Let me tell you:
The physical environment is bad: lots of adults smoke while they're playing with the computer; the fire protection devices/environment are bad, several netbars reported burned to ashes and many people died (including children) because of lack of fire exit.
The social environment is bad: many "bad guys" (youth who hate school, want money to play games, extort money from younger children; they even sometimes fight because of money, of game lose) are hanging around there.
The computer/internet environment is bad: we have no content rating system here, none of the netbar managers cares about the children, they just care about money. Some of the netbars collect lots of adult materials (it's illegal) and make them "hidden" in inside the computers, if you have money or you're "familiar" with the manager, you can watch them, no matter how old are you. Some news reported that in some netbars, adults/youth watched adult videos while children were alongside.
Most people go to netbars only for playing games, chatting. Yes, they access the internet too, however, since no content rating system, what the adult people could access, the children could access too. Children are not mature enough to control themselves, they wallow in games, don't feel like to go to school, they need money to play more, they try to get money from their way...
Due to my lack of english ability, I can't express more. I just want some people to know something about why our government do such things so that they can think more before they post their comments. OK, call us communist, call us have no freedom. But, for the future of us, we must at least do something for our children. You're not going to let you children to go to such netbars/cafes, are you? Good night!
Hi, flacco, you know, nearly 70% of China's population lives in the rural areas. They born with the soil, live with the soil and then buried in the soil. Most of them, the only thing they care the most in their lives is: living. They have no money, they have no education, they sametimes even have no more food for tomorrow, then how could they possibly have any ideas about what is democracy, how could they possibly be as "lazy" for at least a moment as US people and then "make questionable choices when voting" and then "vote for their political leaders"?
You don't know what a heartache I have to tell you about this. People out there in the world should at least think about this before they make any judgement about "immediate" democracy here in this country of these poor people...
I agree that: the first human right is the right of living (at least for our poor people here). I know them, because I grew up there. I'm lucky enough to have a hard-working father and mother, and lucky enough to live in a more developed province (Guangdong Province, you must have heard about Guangzhou, which is the capital of the Guangdong Province), that's why I can talk to you in English now:) But, there are many many people are not as lucky as I am, they born, they work, in the muddy soil, feed their family, they die. Then their children go to the same way, and so do their children's children. After having enough food to feed their family, they only want to live a simple and peaceful life, no matter what is the government, who is the leader and what the hell we're talking about... Maybe, that's the karma for them...
Our government has done a lot of things to deal with this problem. But that's not enough, maybe you don't know how horrible the population pressure is. (I hate that some chinese people "escaped" to US, and then talked about things like that they had no human right in China, they were "controled", they had no right to have another cute baby, that's crap, really)
what would really be so bad about permitting free, fair elections in china right now?
We have some form of elections, and things are improving, however, there is no "right now" to be as US. Personally speaking, what you've said about US people's "circle" is not bad, it's good. I've read books and watched TV and accessed the internet and have known much things about US. Many savants (is this word proper?) here have noticed many problems. To know what's wrong is the first step to make things right. We've known them, however, we need some basis to make things right:
We need time, need economy's advance to bring money to our people, to improve their living quality, then we need education, one of the longest ways to go, that would spend at least one or two generations. Then one day, we will be happy to see many things have changed silently!
It's a long long term process of evolution rather than a revolution. Please, again, be patient.
And I think things would be much better when our generation becomes the mainstream of the society. Most of us just graduated from universities or colleges, it would probabily take us 4 ~ 5 years to become the "mainstream", that would be the year around 2008, I think maybe that day we would be lucky enough to meet each other at Beijin's 2008 Olympic, and then I would like to tell you (and you could see them yourself!) what have been changed since this dialogue:)
Our country is much much better than it was ten years ago. We sure will keep learning many good things from US, because US is far more mature than us as a modern country. That's why we call the US a developed country, and we admitted that we're a developing country. (and that's why I'm learning English:)
Finally, it's good to talk to you (rather than some rude guy and "Anonymous Coward"s here). And thank you very much for providing me such a chance to "force" myself to think and express so much in English, hell, I've got a headache and can't write English any more, need a break:)
Hi, the precondition of solving the taiwan problem is "There is only a single China in the world", and both mainland and taiwan are parts of it.
Under this condition, we "trust" the people in Taiwan to decide what is right for themselves without bringing military threats into it.
Not a country in the world would allow its domain (is this word right? sorry for my english again, I looked up the dictionary and found this word to be the closest in meaning to what I wanted to express) to be parted from it.
About taiwan, I would like to say two things:
Why they "did a hell of lot better" than us?
I would like to have you consider two things: (1) the population: mainland - 1,270 million; taiwan - 23 million, that's only 2% of mainland's population.(2) the historical problem, the year 1949 Jiang Jieshi (Chiang Kai-shek) lost the war and fell back on taiwan, do you know how much gold his government took away from exchequer (I don't know if this word is correct... correct me if I was wrong, thanks!)? That was 920 thousand Liang (1 Liang = 50 g). It's not so much today, but in the year 1949, that was large amount of money! Then, 820 thousand Liang of those gold was used to boost up taiwan's economy. That's what historian Li'Ao http://www.fact-index.com/l/li/li_ao.html pointed out. You can find out more about this history here (Chinese website) http://www.phoenixtv.com/home/zhuanti/fhxd/liaoyou huashuo/200403/26/229195.html
"They even have this miraculous thing called democracy with truly free, fair, and open elections"?
I personally admit that, they have a larger "circle" to stand in than us in some certain cases.
Well, have you ever read the books written by Li'Ao? He has disclosed many things behind the
scene of taiwan's politics. Well, I have to say, taiwan has someone like Li'Ao, that's the evidence of taiwan has a "larger circle", I admitted that.
In the meantime, every mainland leader talks about "democracy in 50 years" meaning "democracy sometime after I am dead."
I live here in China, I can tell you that we are making good progress, do you trust me?:)
My friend, due to a lot of problems, especially population problem IMHO, we do need more
time than taiwan, then please, be patient. And, thank you for your concern about our democracy, too:)
IMO, as the economy develops, the democracy advances, too.
Instead, you follow the typical mainlander line of: "we should be husband and wife, so marry me or I'll kill you." No benefits for the Taiwanese mentioned at all. Who would want to take an offer like that?
We are brothers with taiwan, not husband and wife:) We mainland is offering an old brother's hug. We were born with nature blood relations, we are a whole family. If someone ever tries to parted our little brother - taiwan - away from this family, then they are going to pay for it.
Yea, they can call it "threat". Then why don't you threat someone if he/she tries to take away your dear little brother?
free speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to organize labor unions, etc.
What I can say is, freedom is like drawing a circle
on the ground for somebody to stand in, I personally admit that, in some developed countries
like America, in some certain cases, they DO have a larger circle (Could you understand what I mean? I don't know how to express this in a more precise way.. sorry for my english!)
...while the Communist Party has no shame about breaking its current agreement with the Chinese people on the mainland
I guess I understand what you mean and how you made such judgement. Sorry that I can't expand this topic though I have a lot of things to say, my english ability is now on a certain level that I can only use it for daily communication but I find out that it's really difficult for me to express my thought.
As I have written here http://developers.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=119 275&cid=10074920,
I admitted that we, the PRC is still very young as
a modern country, and, I'm one of the people who lives here, it's my responsibility to love her, to
do something (whatever within my ability) for her.
Then someday, she will grow up like a giant, so, let the time tell:)
And something else, let's just give "trust" a try rather than give "war" a try. Wouldn't that be better?
Finally, I must say, I really appreciate your concern about the freedom of our Chinese people. Let us hope and DO what we can to help our people (if you'd like to:) to get a larger circle to stand in. Thank you.
hi, it's nice to know what other people in the
world out there think about China:)
here is my opinion, still, I'll try my best to
make myself clear, I hope someday I could speak
English more fluent, so that I could help other
people in the world know more about The People's
Republic of China:)
that depends what you mean by "part of china". i have no problem with the concept that taiwan be considered part of a single country that includes the mainland. however, the mainland is currently under the control of a non-democratic, illegitimate government, and taiwan has a fledgling democratic government.
It's great to hear that you have no problem
with the concept that taiwan and mainland are
parts of a single country. That's the policy
undergoing for such a long time: a single China
and the mainland and taiwan explains "single China"
to their needs. That's a gray zone that keeps us
in peace for so long. There've been always some
people try to "clear things out", including those
who want to make taiwan an independent "country".
Once that happens, we would get taiwan back with
our forces - then, there would be clearly only one
China - the PRC - we "clear things out", too.
I think it's a better but short term policy to keep
things as they were. Then, with enough time and enough
faith of both taiwan people and us mainland, we sure
could get this problem solved peacefully.
And, as you've mentioned: non-democratic and illegitimate.
Would you agree that sometimes these words are not so easy
to be defined clearly? I have to admit that ONCE I've been
disappointed about democracy status here in mainland. Yea,
I've seen a lot of good things there in developed countries
like America, I've read as much as I could during my college
life to find out why the America is so powerful.
Then one day, I deeply realized that: China is my OWN country,
it's better for me to DO SOMETHING rather than JUST CRITICIZING.
I've written something here http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=119275&cid=100 74920
about my viewpoints of democracy, I would like to share them
with you:) And I can't say I know much about taiwan's government,
though I've read a lot of book written by Li'Ao http://www.fact-index.com/l/li/li_ao.html
who keeps disclosing what's behind the taiwan politics.
it seems CCP mind control is working perfectly. the CCP has indoctrinated you with nationalism, and now exploits it to cloud your judgement on the taiwan issue.
tell me: why is it that taiwan, with a market economy and democratic government, is going the "WRONG" way, and PRC, under illegitimate control of CCP, is going the "right" way?
"mind control" is something really interesting to be discussed,
how do we possibly know ourselves or other people are mind
controlled? What I can say is, we DO make our judgement on things
BASE UPON our education, life experience, informations we hold, etc.
I can tell you that, I've been through a period of self-awakening
(I don't know which word would be better), and my interest in
philosophy helps me know much about myself:)
Sorry, my limited English ability prevents me from going deeply
into some philosophy things, I can express myself better if I
could communicate with you in Chinese.
Here is my answer to your question about "WRONG" or "right" way:
despite the economy and democratic things, those people who've
been trying to make taiwan to be an "independent country" ARE
going the WRONG way. That's it. We, the mainland, has been ready
to negotiate ANYTHING with taiwan government under the condition
of they formally admit that there is "only a single China"
(whatever they would like to explain that express). We even allow
them to keep their army! Isn't that enough?! They just say: yea,
we taiwan government admit that, there is only a sin
Taiwan province WAS, IS, and WILL ALWAYS BE part
of China. The history tells.
I believe that no one would like to see the war
between us and our Taiwan people, since we are all
Chinese.
However, some people (in Taiwan and out there in
the world) have never given up leading Taiwan to
the WRONG direction. That's why we mainland people
will never give up getting taiwan back with our
forces.
Taiwan problem is set to be solved near year
2020. I'm about to see that day.
I wish that day we would see smile rather than
blood.
Sorry for my poor English, I've tried my best to
make myself clear.
hi, I think some people outside the world there seem that they don't know how many great changes have taken place here in our country nowadays:)
Yes, China is an old country, however, as a modern country, she is still at her early age, she is young, not as mature as developed country like America.
Democracy is a process, a long long term process. We need time, we need resources, we need education... there're 1.3 billion people here, it's not as easy as a walk in the park.
The important thing is: our country is growing in a steady pace. I think it would be better once my generation becomes the mainstream power of the country, since many (still, that's not enough for 1.3 billion...) of us are well educated:)
What's more, in some developed (not as developed as those great cities in the world:) provinces like Beijin, Shanghai, Guangdong (I live here)... people do lead a very good life there. And the government systems of these provinces are much maturer.
I'm proud of our country, proud to be a Chinese, and what's the most important is that - I'm proud to be one of those people who are growing up with China, seeing, hearing, feeling the joyful changes happenning around us everyday:)
I'm sure our country will grow up like a giant someday (sure will Linux:). I think I'll be there that day. Please be patient:)
And thank you very much for your advice, I really appreciate your concern about China:)
Again, sorry for my poor English, I've trying my best to improve my English skill:)
The cute little penguin is growing every day, especially here in China. As linux is growing mature in many domains and the desktop is making good progress, with the support directly from our government, I think there is a bright future of Linux for our people.
I've been promoting linux to my friends, my classmates, and always trying my best to help people who are interested in Linux so that they can have smoother migration from windows.
Yes, some of them go back to windows again, and some of them do fall in love with our lovely penguin:)
I know I can't do much, but I've tried and I'm doing my very best.
I have a dream that one day I have a son or a daughter, I'm going to celebrate the 18th birthday with my little baby:)
And I've been thinking about being a primary school teacher someday, and teach our children -- the next generation of our country -- Linux:)
Hey, again, Happy Birthday to my dear Linux, and sorry for my poor english~
yep, I've been thinking that the GNOME style is simpler than KDE:)
One of the reason that I feel uncomfortable (I don't know which word would be better, not a native english speaker:P) about KDE is that those buttons in the konqueror tool bar are too close to each other...
Anyway, KDE is making advance, it's good to see that there're excellent projects like KDE and GNOME making good progress and offering linux desktop users more choices:-D
I'm looking the screenshots! So beautiful! And always the GNOME-style I call it: simple!
I've been a hardcore gnome user, well, a hardcore enlightenment user too! before e17 comes out, I'm sticking to GNOME B-)
Keep going you BIG FOOT (Feet?)!
Yep, spatial is really good for dad and mom:) and the file browser style is still there once I myself feel like to use it for convenience (although most my jobs get done in the shell)
However, I must say, it's a little bit annoying to close a lot of windows one by one if I go deep in some directories...
I would like to see a feature like: right-click on one window, there is a menu item like "close folders recursively", when click it, all the current folder's top level folders close recursively immediately!
To make things even cooler, what about add another small button to the right-top of the nautilus window aside with the other three buttons. then with just one click, all folders close!
I've submitted this as a feature request to the gnome developers, hope they implement it someday:)

Yes, China is an old country, however, as a modern country, she is still at her early age, she is young, not as mature as developed country like America.
Democracy is a process, a long long term process. We need time, we need resources, we need education... there're 1.3 billion people here, it's not as easy as a walk in the park.
The important thing is: our country is growing in a steady pace. I think it would be better once my generation becomes the mainstream power of the country, since many (still, that's not enough for 1.3 billion...) of us are well educated
What's more, in some developed (not as developed as those great cities in the world:) provinces like Beijin, Shanghai, Guangdong (I live here)... people do lead a very good life there. And the government systems of these provinces are much maturer.
I'm proud of our country, proud to be a Chinese, and what's the most important is that - I'm proud to be one of those people who are growing up with China, seeing, hearing, feeling the joyful changes happenning around us everyday
I'm sure our country will grow up like a giant someday (sure will Linux:). I think I'll be there that day. Please be patient:)
And thank you very much for your advice, I really appreciate your concern about China:)
Again, sorry for my poor English, I've trying my best to improve my English skill
The cute little penguin is growing every day, especially here in China. As linux is growing mature in many domains and the desktop is making good progress, with the support directly from our government, I think there is a bright future of Linux for our people.

I've been promoting linux to my friends, my classmates, and always trying my best to help people who are interested in Linux so that they can have smoother migration from windows.
Yes, some of them go back to windows again, and some of them do fall in love with our lovely penguin
I know I can't do much, but I've tried and I'm doing my very best.
I have a dream that one day I have a son or a daughter, I'm going to celebrate the 18th birthday with my little baby
And I've been thinking about being a primary school teacher someday, and teach our children -- the next generation of our country -- Linux
Hey, again, Happy Birthday to my dear Linux, and
sorry for my poor english~
yep, I've been thinking that the GNOME style is simpler than KDE :)
:-D
One of the reason that I feel uncomfortable (I don't know which word would be better, not a native english speaker:P) about KDE is that those buttons in the konqueror tool bar are too close to each other...
Anyway, KDE is making advance, it's good to see that there're excellent projects like KDE and GNOME making good progress and offering linux desktop users more choices
I'm looking the screenshots! So beautiful! And always the GNOME-style I call it: simple! I've been a hardcore gnome user, well, a hardcore enlightenment user too! before e17 comes out, I'm sticking to GNOME B-) Keep going you BIG FOOT (Feet?)!
sorry, never know this before, thanks!
Yep, spatial is really good for dad and mom :) and the file browser style is still there once I myself feel like to use it for convenience (although most my jobs get done in the shell)
However, I must say, it's a little bit annoying to close a lot of windows one by one if I go deep in some directories...
I would like to see a feature like: right-click on one window, there is a menu item like "close folders recursively", when click it, all the current folder's top level folders close recursively immediately!
To make things even cooler, what about add another small button to the right-top of the nautilus window aside with the other three buttons. then with just one click, all folders close!
I've submitted this as a feature request to the gnome developers, hope they implement it someday:)
