How it is important sometimes to be dead on time and a place. How many times do we become thoughtful and want to give back and change everything?! It’s easier to pull down than to build. Thus, some niggardly people accumulate trifles (without need to use them in the future), the others reckon they’ve got time to do that later.

As the saying goes, never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. It can’t be related to the People’s Republic of China. They always act on their authority violating freedom of speech (I mean mass media). By the way, it was issued a law according to which mass media can’t report on negative and offensive events and accidents. Don’t worry, be happy, Chinese people! Feng shui will help you!

Some years back, namely in 2001, popularity of the Internet made China to sharpen edge with this massive source of information. According to the People’s University of China, unconfirmed and inaccurate information on the web may mislead the Chinese people. Pull the Iron Curtain?

According to Roya Akhavan-Majid, the Chinese Communist party-state implemented the mass media reform in China, because historically analyses of change in mass media systems have tended to draw upon a ‘dissident vs. state’ framework, derived largely from the western historical experience.

Last Sunday China blocked internet users (fellow countrymen) from seeing YouTube.com. What’s holding matters? There were dozens of videos about protests in Tibet uploaded on this video-sharing site. Everything points to the fact that the communist government’s efforts control the media high and low. As compared with such Chinese web-sites as 56.com, youku.com and tudou.com, there were no protest scenes.

“Foreign Web sites run by news organizations and human rights groups are regularly blocked if they carry sensitive information. Operators of China-based online bulletin boards are required to monitor their content and enforce censorship.” (via)

What should we expect from the Chinese government? China banned YouTube, and suddenly remembered the laws it had put in place. It’s now announced that 25 video hosting sites need to be shut down and another 32 will be “punished.”

Yellow-faced nation has taken up the web area (specially e-business directories), being agents and middlemen. Repulses the USA?
