Crackdown on 'illegal' online Olympic contentPosted by Eric Mu, July 8, 2008 3:39 PM
 The Beijing News July 8, 2008 Over 20 video websites were "reprimanded" and asked to "stop infringement" by China's Copyright Administration, today's Beijing News reported. These websites are accused of broadcasting "Olympic-related content" without legal authorization. The newspaper says that "Olympic-related content", including video footage of the Olympic torch relay, has been found on these websites, with one of them being identified as Pomoho.com. The Copyright Administration, Ministry of Information and Industry, and SARFT held a joint press conference yesterday to announce a "ban on illegal Olympic broadcasting" and crackdown on pirated "Olympic-related" content. According to the newspaper, China's state-owned CCTV is only media in China that has the broadcast rights of the Beijing Olympic Games. Any other media must be authorized by CCTV before they can broadcast "Olympic-related" content. Links and Sources

 Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.
