Asiapundit: U.S. listed Chinese companies and the Online Freedom ActPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Sunday, February 19, 2006 at 6:35 PM
Asiapundit is a blog written by a China-based journalist. He has looked at the proposed American "Global Online Freedom Act" and pointed out an interesting feature of it: One of the definitions of a "U.S. business" in the act is "every issuer of a security registered pursuant to section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934". This means that companies affected by the act would include all Chinese Internet companies that are listed in the U.S., such as Baidu, Sohu and Sina. Asiapundit looks at possible consequences in his post: online freedom act: good for google, bad for baidu? |

+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
