Citizen Journalism Combating Chinese Censorship 86
teh_commodore writes to tell us that Breitbart has a look at how Citizen Journalism is shining a whole new light on China. "Recognizing the threat of China's growing online community, Chinese President Hu Jintao called in January for the Internet to be 'purified', and the government has since launched a number of online crackdowns. [...] 'One cannot truly say that the Internet in China is becoming more and more free, because at the same time as the development of citizen journalists, the government finds ways of blocking or censoring content,' Pain said."

When my parent's showed local friends a family picture (5 children), a few women wept because of a government mandated law of one child per couple.
One interesting thing they noticed, though, is a positive side effect of their freedom being suppressed. Many people in China they met had an innocence that has been all but destroyed in much of America. What I'm referring to is the moral depravity found in the US's pop culture that is largely suppressed in China.
My heart goes out to those overseas who are fighting for the basic rights of freedom that I've enjoyed all my life.

That's the billboard system hosted on China's highest ranking official propaganda website, controlled directly by the top propaganda division of the communist party. Well, just list a few post titles from the front page:
- What does it tell that 70% of the corruptions and bribes are through the wives and mistresses?
- Reporting the "black kiln" in sadness and horrors.
- Is the Nanjing government going backwards in regulating the housing price?
- 24 ways to expose corrupted officials in mainland China
- Black kiln reminds me of the greatness of Mao Zedong
- Why do the officials pretend they don't know?
Does that sounds like a Gulag or 1984 situation? When did you last see similar posts hosted by either CNN or MSNBC?
