U.S. Requests Website Censoring Details From China

[JayAtl]

SAN FRANCISCO -- The U.S. government has formally asked China to turn over details of its policies for censoring websites.

U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said Wednesday that the request is being pursued under World Trade Organization rules governing how member countries deal with trade issues. Kirk said the concerns center on the competitiveness of foreign websites in China.

China heavily censors its Internet, and Kirk said the U.S. wants to understand China's rules governing website blocking so that foreign websites can adopt policies to avoid being blocked.

The request also seeks information on the mechanics of Internet censorship in China, and whether it's implemented directly by the government or indirectly by Internet providers.

Some 500 million people in China use the Internet and are hotly pursued by marketers. China's censorship rules are opaque, and it's not just political sites that are blocked.

China's policies led to a rare public fight with a major U.S. company last year when Google Inc. announced it was going to stop censoring its Internet search results on its Chinese website as the result of a hacking attack believed to have originated in China. The U.S. is increasing pressure on China over its trade policies, including its currency practices, but there is broad disagreement about the appropriate strategies for ensuring fair competition

Is that what you do in canada with an open internet. I've always said that chinese here claim to be NO 1 in IQ rankings- Yet their govt knows the " non fudged" truth - hence they know that open internet and media would be detremental to their pysche!

Your own govt thinks you can't handle open media

I do that in China too, so? what, you expect a guy with internet connection do not watch **** at all?

while I have never claimed my IQ to be No.1, your argument is like oh oh Chinese government is censoring the internet because Chinese people are dumb, really? so Australian people must be dumb too?

Chinese government censoring internet and Chinese people's IQ level have no logical connection whatsoever, the only reasons I can think of where you come up with such conclusion would be a deep hatred for Chinese people that blinds you from reasoning.

Governments have different reasons to censor their media, some do it openly and some do it in secret. People can be easily manipulated especially masses, take Germans in WW2 for example.

At least try to come up with a better argument next time instead of just spew racial nonsense here.
