Because it is a joke to talk to a man who likes others to chew their food for them about press freedom and honesty.

You are a paid agent of the running dogs of Capitalists and Imperialists i.e. China.

They are proving to be Imperialists as also great Capitalists, leaving the Glorious Path of our great Leader Mao de Zong, who kept swimming in the Huwang Ho!!

That is why you are hell bent in turning the tide including ruining the pious morality of the world with your oversexed woman pictures on the threads!! .

CNN is a treacherous organisation.

Guess why?

The broadcast the first Iraq War live!!

And it was not pleasant for Americans either!!

If Americans can take it, why have the Chinese Communists developed an itch in their posterior?

Too sensitive?

What ho, goondamunda amongst others?

In India, you want govt news it is DDTV and if you want non govt news there are so many that one cannot imagine in the Chinese mindset!

I wish I could.

You can call me Amanda,

Most time I and my family do not consider CCP, we work, eat, buy, travel, entertainment, these did not need CCP.
And the news, I can't get the foreign TV channel in my home, I lived in west of china, but I can get the news from web. My relative who lives in ShengZhen can get the news from foreign TV channel and Taiwan's TV channel, because he had a digital TV, I haven't. I have visited his house last year, but my english is poor, so I can't get what the TV said. I'm interested in <Discovery>.

So why not stop bias and make a good wish!
It is really a pity that China has done so much just for an Olympic game, but at last it become a target of interest groups and the world as well.

Frankly, Lisa, I am very worried about this Olympic. For one thing, the government will use millions of taxpayers' money to guarantee for the game's security; for another, if something terrible happened during the Olympics and Chinese goods were to get boycott in the world, directly the export would be affected sharply, then about 3/7 China's economy would probably be destroyed, then unemployment rates would rise, and finally the stability of the whole society would be undermined.

Pray for the nation. Sigh...

You all are giving the Olympics too much of importance.

I agree it is important, but it is not life and death.

Nothing will go wrong with the Olympics as such. I don't think anyone can disrupt it the way they are doing to the Torch rallies.

There will be huge security and that may dampen the festivity and possibly the movement of people will be more regulated and there will be more checks and so on making it difficult and even irritating, but then safety cannot be compromised.

Economy the world over is getting affected since their is a bit of a recession. However, unless China does something real nasty, there will be no boycott of Chinese goods.

Already China has started the the ''patriotic re-education'' of the Tibetans.

Goondamunda,

From the Chinese Embassy in Australia:

Quote:
No new foreign TV channels allowed into China
2005/08/05

BEIJING, Aug. 4 -- China would forbid any new foreign-owned TV channels from entering the country, domestic media reported.

China "will not again allow a foreign satellite TV station to have landing rights in the country," Xinhua said, citing new rules from domestic regulators.

Regulators said the new rules were designed to strengthen oversight of the industry while the government "finds ways to regulate (existing foreign media in the market) to prevent harmful programs from entering."

Foreign players with mass broadcasting rights now in China include Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., Viacom's MTV and News Corp.-backed Phoenix Satellite Television Co. Ltd., which all broadcast in Guangdong.

Tom Group Ltd., controlled by Hong Kong's richest businessman, Li Ka-shing, also owns a station with mass broadcast rights in Guangdong with Time Warner Inc.

Overseas players with limited broadcasting rights in the market include Time Warner's CNN and the BBC news channels, and various channels owned by News Corp.'s Star TV subsidiary.

The ban on new stations in the market is expected to have the most immediate impact on Disney, which applied for a limited broadcasting license in 2003 and is one of the few major media companies without a channel in the market, observers say.

Viacom's Nickelodeon children's channel also applied for a limited broadcasting license in 2003, and could also be affected.

Spokeswomen from Disney and Viacom had no immediate comment.

The television and film regulator announced in April that all media companies would be limited to a single programming joint venture, in a move that appeared directed at Viacom, which had announced several partnerships.

Last month, the regulator followed with more regulations banning city and provincial broadcasters from cooperating with foreign media companies.

China curbs foreign TV channels


Foreign channels are eager to enter the Chinese market

China says it will refuse to allow any new foreign-owned television satellite channels into the country.

The government also said it would tighten controls on the 31 international broadcasters already operating in China.

The Culture Ministry said the step would "safeguard national culture".......

China "will not again allow a foreign satellite TV station to have landing rights in the country," the culture ministry said in a statement announced by the state news agency Xinhua.

The move will "strengthen management of imported cultural products, improve intellectual property protections and safeguard national cultural safety," the culture ministry said.

It added that the government would also ban new licences for companies to import newspapers and magazines, electronic publications, audiovisual products and children's cartoons. ....

Correspondents say it is also evidence of a mounting government campaign to regain control over popular culture, and curb material that communist leaders worry is spreading negative influences.

BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | China curbs foreign TV channels
Watered down foreign channels at best!!

And strict monitoring.

So no bedtimes stories.

But then what will you understand of uncensored foreign channels. Anything is foreign to you and fabulously fascinating after the drab Mao suits and statistic spewing garbage that you have been subjected to throughout your lives!!

So you don't consider the CCP - but you register on an internet forum to say how great they are?

Cry me a river. The CCP spends money to host the games and then the world gets reminded how nasty and disjusting of a regime China has.
