Many people in the United States are not aware of the
censorship issues in china. The Chinese government controls what the citizens
and residents of china are allowed to view and publish on the Internet. Back a
while ago Google was having problems with Chinese sensorship and almost left
the country completely. Now there are individuals and groups blogging about the
injustices in china. These blogs are micro blogs and millions of people follow
and view these blogs. Users have become online celebrities. These blogs have
become a huge headache for the Chinese government. In a government system were
their citizens have little to no rights and do not have the ability to hold the
right of freedom of speech these blogs challenge the Chinese government’s sovereignty.
The Chinese government has caught one of the popular bloggers; Charles Xue was brought
up on the charges of using prostitution, which is illegal in China. The Chinese
government was not able to charge him with the charges of speaking out against
the government. Though catching him will help the Chinese government catch the
Big V.
