After reading the article, I have to say Chinese government has my full support. Before that I also agree that the censorship in China is excessive. My friends and I always make jokes on the “missing work” during our charting on social networking website in China. However I think it is very important for a country to make sure all the companies acting business abide by all the laws and regulations in that country. That is the authority of a government. What is more, I always regard culture as a powerful weapon because it can influence people’s minds. So it is nothing wrong for a government to control the mass media. Mr. Dorgan, chairman of a panel which is made up of members of the Senate and House and Obama administration officials, said: “Information is not to be feared, and ideas are not enemies to be crushed. The truth is China too often wants a one-way relationship with the world.” So what I want to ask him for explanation is: why western media always make up fake negative news about China? Why are you all afraid of telling the truth?
