WHO WOULD LIKE CHINA AND RUSSIA TO BECOME THEIR BIG BROTHE’S
China just going from undemocratic to dictatorial in on move
or two.
WHAT
YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE UNDERSTOOD ABOUT CHINA CENSORSHIP, IS THAT IT IS NOT INNER
TO THE COUNTRY BUT BAN CHINESE FROM SAYING WHAT THEY THINK BUT NOT ONLY. THE IT
GREAT WALL OF CHINA BANS THOUSANDS OF FOREIGN WEBSITES (AS HUGE AS GOOGLE,
WIKIPEDIA, TWEETER, THE NEW-YORK TIME AND YOUTUBE, ALL BLOGS, AND ALL VIDEOS-
AS IN VIDEO YOU CANNOT FISH FOR PARTICULAR LEXIC AND LINGUISTICS YOU WANT TO
SEE DISAPPEAR).
THE
NOVELTY IS THAT NOW YOU COULD GO TO PRISON TO TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE CENSORS IN
ORDER TO ACCES WHAT EUROPEANS OR AMERICANS CAN VIEW AND READ.
In
fact, I have lived and worked in China, all Google and therefore Youtube are
out of reach, and all
videos as Chinese cannot cipher
foreign videos for censoring them as content cannot be censored via automatic
digital censoring websites using certain words (all foreign blogs are banned in
China). I am very worried as people could, when I first came there, found free
VPN online, enabling them to register their computer IP in another country and
therefore circumvent censorship. Six months upon my arrival, you still could
use a VPN but for money, the same amount of money you need to have an unlimited
internet connexion (huge amount for a working class Chinese citizens).
Personally, I decided not to take one, and ended up working hours; wasted as I
could not access sites still listed in search engines, even ‘English teaching
site’, TFL sites, educational sites, etc…
Even more worrying now the Chinese governments
officially said that they can punish the use of VPN (only way to access foreign
blogs, youtube, all videos, etc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--) with computers ‘use bans on
individual charge with browsing forbidden foreign internet material or by
imprisoning them.
C.ET: AS A FURTHER NOTE:
these past few weeks the news could not dry on how Shi, the Chinese president
became the one figure of the party, comparing him to Marx and Mao.
But 2 years ago, Shi became
at the same time as president, chief of the army, while treating their neighbors
of land grabs- not talking of the Tibet that the English has given to them when
they leave the colonial.
If today, Brexit might make a
point of being royal, China gets along in clothes imperial.
And now with America, that
elected the ones that said ‘America first’ perhaps wanting war or cooperation,
go on with how American have been socially neglected, just maybe to appeal for
some sort of economic or else conflict, thinking of how WW1 and WW2, permitted
it to reach the top through being a creditor not a loaner like nowadays.
Mayo is the vote in Chinese
that means null- the opposition dictatorship will have in their midst.
China

China

In
Putin’s Russia, the hollowed-out media mirrors the state
The Russian government has spent years consolidating its control
of the media. Now it sees reporters as public servants first and journalists
second – if at all
C.ET: mirroring how in the west, one could spend one’s life
listening to media without knowing anything of what is really happening.
China’s New Emperor
In
another country, Chinese President Xi Jinping’s concentration of power might
trigger accusations of latter-day totalitarianism.

Zhou Enlai, Mao’s dutiful number two, is said to have responded to a
question about the lessons of the French Revolution by saying that it was too
soon to tell.

Websites
blocked in mainland China
9 incredibly popular websites that are still blocked in
China
C.ET:
In china thousands of sites cannot be accessed. However, for
years people had been able to download VPN (for free or after more assaults
only by paying) that allowed them to access sites with the help of VPN- even if
you are in china, your computer can browse as if it was in another country (a
country without undemocratic, abusive censorship).
THAT WAS BAD, BUT NOW IF YOU ARE CAUGHT USING A VPN? IT HAS
BEEN MADE ILLEGAL.
AMAZINGLY ENOUGH, I heard on the BBC radio how your searches
recorded by the party and the state at large will influence how Chinese will
have access to jobs, and even to services- as banks, phone and internet
companies, etc, are nationalized. What is doubly amazing is that I cannot find
for the moment discussions about it on the web. It might be a very recent
unlocked news… see you later.
PS: SO CHINESE, TO NOTE, the interests that
people have in freedom of expression is similar in the west. You may not censor
a whole site but people will censor actors, agents there. For a beginning.
PS2: the only reason I am aware of that, is thanks to my
having worked there. I listened to the news all the time, I would never have
understood the seriousness of the situation through that, guess it proves I am
a slow one.
PS3: I don’t know how it works in Russia, but from what I
gleaned it has similar hues.
