China shows great progress in press freedomPosted by Running Dog, January 16, 2006 3:59 PM
Beijing. January 16. Xinhuanet: China has now overtaken Libya in the annual press freedom index compiled by the Paris-based Reporters Without Borders organization, marking the growing opportunities for open media enquiry in the country. Since 2002, China has also moved above Burma, Turkmenistan, Nepal, Iran, Eritrea and Cuba, signifying the progress China has made in protecting journalism and developing the harmonious society. "We're not as bad as those North Koreans, make no mistake," said Xiao Huang, a former editorial assistant with The Beijing News. Meanwhile, the US has plummeted more than 20 places since last year, and Japanese press freedom has also fallen in the last three years, according to the index. "That Koizumi bloke should stop visiting that shrine, the bastard," said Xiao Huang, who now drives a cab. |
