Proof that China censors online content?Posted by Maya Alexandri, December 2, 2007 1:19 AM
 China's one, young netizen Your correspondent had occasion to remember this quote when using Baidu to search for pictures using the following search terms "中国年轻网民" (China's young netizens). Baidu produced a single result: the picture of premier Wen Jiabao shown here. This picture is not the only image on the Internet that meets the search criteria. An identical search on Google Images found 228 results. Is this difference in search results the consequence of China's censorship of the Internet? Or is it just evidence of Google's superiority to Baidu? Links and Sources

Classic Danwei posts
+ Three decades of public life in rural Jiangxi (2008.11): Xiong Peiyun writes about television, gambling, and religion in the small village where he grew up. + Mo Luo: Turning enemies into people (2009.06): Mo Luo, an essayist and poet, writes about dehumanizing the enemy. + Men behind the Nanny (2005.04): The Publicity Department (formerly known as the Propaganda Department) has held a "forum" in Beijing to promote what it calls "news editorial staff management regulations (in testing phase)". These regulations appear to be same the set of rules earlier reported on Danwei of which the stated intent is to clear up corrupt journalistic practices.

Comments on Proof that China censors online content?
I personally find this very interesting.
[swapped out tinyurl. -JM]
what? why is this worth posting? is this search of yours the *only* evidence we have of china's potential censoring of online content?
Internet is virtually useless without VPN connection, it's not only the obvious news sites but common software download sites, discussion groups, company websites etc. But as long as gov does it, foreigners can make lot of money out of Chinese.
