thefickler writes “The Chinese Government [0]has issued orders that all
entertainment web sites and regular television programming be shut down
completely for the next 3 days. Only web sites covering the recent tragic
7.8 magnitude earthquake and television stations broadcasting CCTV
earthquake programming will be allowed to remain live.” Can anyone with
Web access in China confirm this report? From an AP story on the state of
communications in the country right now, it appears at least that China
is (despite ongoing monitoring) allowing [1]freer than usual
communications in the wake of the quake.
