China not in top ten of censored countriesPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, May 4, 2006 12:24 AM
The Committee to Protect Journalists (based in New York) has released a list of the ten most censored countries in the world. They are: 1. North Korea Each country in the top ten is described in three sections: Leader, How Censorship Works, and Lowlights. Reading through the list is a good idea for people writing about and researching censorship issues in China. The whole article is here. But while on the subject of censorship, it is depressing to note that Technorati appears to be completely blocked in China. |

Comments on China not in top ten of censored countries
Rapporteurs Sans Frontieres still puts China in the bottom ten for Press Freedom: http://www.rsf.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=554
Freedom House gives PRC the lowest scores for political freedom and press freedom: http://freedomhouse.org/template.cfm?page=22&year=2005&country=6715
technorati is up today in guangzhou.
Can any of these ten countries compared with Chinese develolment? Are they becoming a world potency? Have they cities like Beijing or Shanghai?
