China Continues it's War on the Internet and Protesters
Date : 2008 03 24 Category : Web News
Last week, China started, among other things, blocking YouTube in an effort to stem the Tibet separation movement. This week, a number of reports point to the fact that China is increasingly stepping up the pressure on pro-Tibet protesters.
Despite the clampdown on protesters, images and video continue to leak out onto the internet documenting clashes between protesters and police.
In the beginning, China wanted to show the world that they are not restrictive on local media outlets. Another image China has been wanting to show off to the world during the Olympics is that China is harmonious.
