How China's Attempts To Censor The Internet Are Failing
,----[ Quote ]
| Just as Bono is claiming that the world
| should look to China's success in
| censoring the internet as a good example
| of how other countries can fight
| unauthorized internet file sharing, the
| Wall Street Journal is reporting on just
| how badly China's "war" against the
| internet is going, noting that the more it
| tries to censor, the more trouble it's
| having in doing so:
|
| The Internet has enabled more Chinese to
| have more access to information today, and
| given them greater ability to communicate
| and express themselves than at any time
| since the founding of the People's
| Republic.

Chinese human rights activist Liu Xiaobo sentenced to 11 years in jail
,----[ Quote ]
| One of China's most prominent human rights
| activists was condemned today to 11 years in
| prison, prompting a furious backlash from
| domestic bloggers and international civil
| society groups.
|
| Liu Xiaobo, the founder of the Charter 08
| campaign for constitutional reform, was given
| the unusually harsh jail term on Christmas Day
| in an apparent attempt to minimise
| international attention.
