But I think they are not accurat enough. So I put my censorship on top of the official Chinese censorship. A Chinese man in a Chinese prison got the Nobel Peace Prize 2010. And China makes it possible that a large part of the Chinese don't know. Article 35 of China's constitution lays down that "Citizens of the People's Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession and of demonstration". In practice, these freedoms have proved to be distinctly curtailed for China's citizens. Censored media include essentially all capable of reaching a wide audience including television, print media, radio, film, theater, text messaging, instant messaging, video games, literature and the Internet. -------------------------------- CCCN takes 16 RSS feeds from Chinese news media, like People's Daily, Sichuan Daily, Guangzhou Daily, Southern Weekly, Sina, Izaobao, Sohu, NetEase, Hunan, Sing Tao Global Network, Xinhua News, Tencent, China News and Yangcheng Evening, which have constantly been censored by the Communist Party of China. Then it automatically censors parts of the posts or even complete messages. -------------------------------- Review by Mark Hancock on Digicult http://www.digicult.it/digimag/issue-061/kim-asendorf-censored-censored-chinese-news/ -------------------------------- Kim Asendorf http://kimasendorf.com/cccn/
