China: the blue and violent Internet

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Late in 2007, three days before 2008 January 1st, a girl in CCTV news said the Internet was both very blue and very violent. After this video flick was spread by those online video-sharing websites, all over China’s netizens were talking about the topic.

Some adults said the girl was lying and she acted as a victim of so called bad Internet according to the authority media. So the authority would have a pretence to control the Internet more and more heavily. But some people didn’t agree. They thought the Internet now was really blue and violent. Almost every big websites have dirty contents. And they called for the authority to do with the situation.

This wave hasn’t been gone down, that wave was going up! In Hong Kong, a singer and actor Edison Chen took photos of his sex partners and kept them in his MAC computer these years. But these photos were stolen by someone who worked in a computer repair shop where Edison went to repair his MAC. See more details here.

Now, the whole Great Chinese netizens are talking about this. In China mainland, the wave is greater than other areas. Some China’s important websites such as Sina and Netease even open up a special News report covering this scandal. Thousands of other small websites and forums are doing worse. They admit the netizens to view and spread those sexual photos and even some of them offer the archive for downloading!

So do you think the Internet in China is blue and violent? Well, I don’t know the whole story. But I know the children should not see these porn photos! So in this side, I agree with that girl appeared in CCTV news. But now the question is where the classification policy for the content of the Internet is? And Movies, Books?

I hope that day will come before Jintao Hu leaves his position. The faster, the better!

P.S. My English is poor. So take it easy when you see some mistakes of grammar and spell.
