중국 인터넷 통제
On a brisk바쁜 Beijing day, Sam Pang wanders the streets putting up posters with the message to the Chinese government. Give my friends back. Give my rights back. Give my face-book back. I’ve been dreaming that one day we’d be able to use websites without any problem, he says, but after a long time waiting, nothing has changed. And I can’t bear it any more. It’s a message that could get him in trouble, but the 28-year-old Pang says it’s worth to risk. Facebook has been blocked in China since July.
After bloody ethnic riots broke out between Uighurs and Han Chinese in ShinJung province, web users hoped restrictions would relax towards the end of 2009 after the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmun crackdown and the 60th anniversary of the founding of the people’s republic of china had passed. But if anything, it seems the list of inaccessible sites is getting longer including Twitter and YouTube, photo sharing websites like Picassa, Google documents and personal blogs.
The Chinese government just announced it’s more tightly regulating registration for new domains as part of its campaign to block what it considers pornography. Many virtual private networks or VPNs that could once get around the so-called great firewall of China don’t work anymore, either. Internet freedom was a hot topic during President Obama’s recent visit to China. At a town hall meeting with Shanghai youth, the US Ambassador posed제기하다 this question. “Should we be able to use Twitter freely?” “I think that the more freely information flows, the stronger the society becomes. I’ve always been a strong supporter of open…...Internet use. I’m a big supporter of non-censorship검열.”
There was no response to that from the Chinese government. But officials have said restrictions are meant to target any sites considered harmful to society. A position that frustrates users Sam Pang. The Internet is an amazing invention because we have so many more ways to express ourselves, he says, with all of these rules, it’s like history is going backwards. Emily Chang, CNN, Beijing.
