On SBS tonight As it Happened, Tiananmen Square showed how uni students of today know nothing of the uprising that happened in 1989.
SBS showed the hits and images in Google when searched for Tiananmen Square in the west. In China Google only showed photos of smiling tourists and the square itself. No tank photos.
SBS also said there are 35,000 internet police in China.
Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Cisco have put filters in place to stop "inappropriate" material being accessed in China with Yahoo and Cisco being the worst as they supplied China with filtering tools.
When four uni students in China were shown photos of the student standing in front of the tank column they had no idea what it was as they had never seen it before.
And China has the Olympic Games!!!! |

Oh and thanks Yahoo for doing your part in turning in suspected dissidents to the Chineses authorities.
You and the other cyber-goons. Hope the money is worth it.
(I'm sure you do the same for the US, etc) |

My friend's daughter and her family have been living Beijing for three years now. The man had an offer that he couldn't refuse...work wise. By the time they come home, they will have paid off their house here. !!
They live in a walled community. A special bus picks the children up for school daily. They have security guards on duty. Nannies (2) because they have three small children, 2 maids (one lives in) 2 cars with chauffeurs, as they are not allowed to drive themselves around
They are only permitted to access thier email through the designated ISP, so that their mail can be monitored. That I found out accidently.
I mentioned something about China and civil rights in a email.
I recieved a very cleverly worded email in reply, that a non-native speaker would not have been able to get the gist of.
In essence it was """SHUT UP ABOUT CHINA """ |
