Internet censorship in China is among the most stringent in the world. The government tend to monitor and control how its citizens use the internet.The government also monitors and citizen volunteers regularly sweep through blogs, chat forums, and even e-mail to ensure nothing challenges the country's self-styled "harmonious society." they also blocked many website relating to entertainment, news, pornography and many more.
Comment:
From my point of view, this seems not to be a good idea and unfair as for the China Government to limit the information retrieved from the internet. Nowadays, Internet is the centralize of information gathering from anyone all over the world. It means internet holds a vasts number of information that might be useful for any reason or purpose. The government developed the boundaries of retrieving or viewing information freely.
Each human have their right to surf and to access any source or information on the internet as long as they didn't harm and stay respect of other people, company and government. Such a move will be ineffective in a borderless world where information flows freely. It would also lead to dissatisfaction among people because they have a rights to access any information on the internet and its only the matter of how ethical is the internet user.
Apart from that, If they they keep censoring more websites, its going to scare investors as they would think twice before investing in China. This could hinder the growth of economy. The investors would be taking out their money and invest it on another country such as Singapore , Thailand , Philippines and even Indonesia. This would be really bad for China.
Chinese people is like trap in their own country. Citizens are hardly to communicate with other outside the country since the government monitor and citizen volunteers regularly sweep through blogs, chat forums, and even e-mail to ensure nothing challenges the country's self-styled "harmonious society." Means, there are no more privacy to Chinese people.
The government should take this into consideration. They should think of allows their citizen to be rich with information retrieved from the internet as well as get the right to access any accessible material as long as they act in ethical manner and doesn't harm any people. They need to develop a self-regulatory to each of citizen to make sure they act in a good ethical behavior on the internet and develop a strong legislation that concern about internet censorship in China.
