Oh good ness now is this news published by India? NO. So if some body reads some news against china and says something it is wrong. Leave you alone. You guys really can't listen a single words against you? There is no one who is perfect. But this way of mind controlling is not done. Why don't you just accept that this is the way you are treated in your country or just give a news source which just debunks the news published.

And again stop running behind India to cover your face.

I'm done talking to you,ok?no wonder your economic is growing so slow,you care our mess more than yours

China's '50-cent party' posters

By Michael Bristow
BBC News, Beijing

China is using an increasing number of paid "internet commentators" in a sophisticated attempt to control public opinion.

These commentators are used by government departments to scour the internet for bad news - and then negate it.

They post comments on websites and forums that spin bad news into good in an attempt to shape public opinion.

Chinese leaders seem aware that the internet - the only public forum where views can be freely expressed - needs close attention.

China's Communist Party leaders have long sought to sway public opinion by controlling what the media can report.

That policy was extended to the internet, and many websites are blocked by a system sometimes dubbed the "great firewall of China".

Rumours and opinions

But cyberspace - where views can be expressed instantly and anonymously - is not as easy to control as traditional news outlets.

Comments, rumours and opinions can be quickly spread between internet groups in a way that makes it hard for the government to censor. So instead of just trying to prevent people from having their say, the government is also attempting to change they way they think.

To do this, they use specially trained - and ideologically sound - internet commentators.

They have been dubbed the "50-cent party" because of how much they are reputed to be paid for each positive posting (50 Chinese cents; $0.07; £0.05).

"Almost all government departments face criticism that is beyond their control," said Xiao Qiang, of the University of California at Berkeley.

"There is nothing much they can do, other than organise their own spinning teams to do their public relations," said the journalism professor, who monitors China.

Spin machine

A document released by the public security bureau in the city of Jiaozuo in Henan province boasts of the success of this approach.

It retells the story of one disgruntled citizen who posted an unfavourable comment about the police on a website after being punished for a traffic offence.

One of the bureau's internet commentators reported this posting to the authorities within 10 minutes of it going up.

The bureau then began to spin, using more than 120 people to post their own comments that neatly shifted the debate.

"Twenty minutes later, most postings supported the police - in fact many internet users began to condemn the original commentator," said the report.

These internet opinion-formers obviously need to show loyalty and support to the authorities. They also need other skills, as a document from the hygiene department in the city of Nanning in Guangxi province makes clear.

"[They] need to possess relatively good political and professional qualities, and have a pioneering and enterprising spirit," the document said.

They also need to be able to react quickly, it went on.

'Tens of thousands'

The practice of hiring these commentators was started a couple of years ago by local governments which found it hard to control public opinion.

They could not rely on Beijing to monitor and block every single piece of news about their localities, so they came up with their own solution.

Internet commentators have now become widespread, according to experts. Some estimate that there are now tens of thousands of them.

There are also reports that special centres have been set up to train China's new army of internet spin doctors.

Their job is more important than it would be elsewhere in the world.

"Politically, the internet is more important in China than in other societies because it's the only public space where people can express themselves," said Professor Xiao.

That is a point that has not escaped Chinese President Hu Jintao.

When he chatted online in an internet forum earlier this year he said it was important to set up "a new pattern of media guidance" for the internet.

China's teams of state-sponsored commentators have a lot of work ahead of them.

Poor BBC reports, either retarded or defaming.

In China those pro-establishment posters are called "5 Mao party". 1Mao=50cent in RMB, and the "5 mao party" is used by right wing Chinese to mock up the left, which is on par with left wing's "Cent(usd) Party" upon the right, since both 5 mao RMB and 1 cnet USD are the minimum coin in day to day life.

China has also 1cent,5cent,10cent,and 20cent bank papers below 50 cent,but they're almostly out of actual currency in today's China.

and lol you would take those low-grade lies like a big surprise.

Boss so is it lying totally when it is saying that it has seen a report published in China to boast the approach:

A document released by the public security bureau in the city of Jiaozuo in Henan province boasts of the success of this approach.

 

[badguy2000]

well,forget those western's crap of CHina.......

Whatever western medias say, We chinese are getting richer and richer and our life is getting better and better.

20 years ago, my father's month-salary was less 100 RMB.

10 years ago ,it was 800 RMB,

now ,it is 3000 RMB.

in 10 years, I am sure that it would be 10000 RMB+.

in 1980s ,in order to buy one black&white TV set.most Chinese had to save one-year salary.

in 1990s, color TV, AC , elelctronic refrigerator and E-washer penetrated into ordinary chinese families.

Now, cars and house are on our shopping list.

Is there is any question raised about China's progress? NO. The point here getting raised is trying to "mind control" for the citizens. Is it true?

ha ha ha the point raised was "mind control" getting imposed on Chinese people. Where does India come in between this? There are threads where people are discussing this. This thread is for some topic stick to that rather then ranting towards others.

 

[badguy2000]

do you know how much the above "indian securities" in china can earn?

only 1000 RMB(about 150 USD) /month.

For the 1000 RMB/ month, those "former member of Indian speical force" would rather went abroad and leave their families.
