WHO WOULD LIKE CHINA AND RUSSIA TO BECOME THEIR BIG BROTHE’S
China just going from undemocratic to dictatorial in on move or two.

and WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE UNDERSTOOD ABOUT CHINA CENSORSHIP, half of  the western content have been blocked from viewing, and note, now if you are caught (surfing google or many others, including all videos), it can mean prison.


WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE UNDERSTOOD ABOUT CHINA CENSORSHIP, IS THAT IT IS NOT INNER TO THE COUNTRY BUT BAN CHINESE FROM SAYING WHAT THEY THINK BUT NOT ONLY. THE IT GREAT WALL OF CHINA BANS THOUSANDS OF FOREIGN WEBSITES (AS HUGE AS GOOGLE, WIKIPEDIA, TWEETER, THE NEW-YORK TIME AND YOUTUBE, ALL BLOGS, AND ALL VIDEOS- AS IN VIDEO YOU CANNOT FISH FOR PARTICULAR LEXIC AND LINGUISTICS YOU WANT TO SEE DISAPPEAR).

THE NOVELTY IS THAT NOW YOU COULD GO TO PRISON TO TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE CENSORS IN ORDER TO ACCES WHAT EUROPEANS OR AMERICANS CAN VIEW AND READ.




In fact, I have lived and worked in China, all Google and therefore Youtube are out of reach, and all videos as Chinese cannot cipher foreign videos for censoring them as content cannot be censored via automatic digital censoring websites using certain words (all foreign blogs are banned in China). I am very worried as people could, when I first came there, found free VPN online, enabling them to register their computer IP in another country and therefore circumvent censorship. Six months upon my arrival, you still could use a VPN but for money, the same amount of money you need to have an unlimited internet connexion (huge amount for a working class Chinese citizens). Personally, I decided not to take one, and ended up working hours; wasted as I could not access sites still listed in search engines, even ‘English teaching site’, TFL sites, educational sites, etc…
Even more worrying now the Chinese governments officially said that they can punish the use of VPN (only way to access foreign blogs, youtube, all videos, etc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--) with computers ‘use bans on individual charge with browsing forbidden foreign internet material or by imprisoning them.







C.ET: AS A FURTHER NOTE: these past few weeks the news could not dry on how Shi, the Chinese president became the one figure of the party, comparing him to Marx and Mao.
But 2 years ago, Shi became at the same time as president, chief of the army, while treating their neighbors of land grabs- not talking of the Tibet that the English has given to them when they leave the colonial.


If today, Brexit might make a point of being royal, China gets along in clothes imperial.
And now with America, that elected the ones that said ‘America first’ perhaps wanting war or cooperation, go on with how American have been socially neglected, just maybe to appeal for some sort of economic or else conflict, thinking of how WW1 and WW2, permitted it to reach the top through being a creditor not a loaner like nowadays.
Mayo is the vote in Chinese that means null- the opposition dictatorship will have in their midst.

After China’s crackdown, now Russia is banning VPNs too


China just made VPNs illegal
The Great Firewall just got more impenetrable.



In Putin’s Russia, the hollowed-out media mirrors the state
The Russian government has spent years consolidating its control of the media. Now it sees reporters as public servants first and journalists second – if at all

C.ET: mirroring how in the west, one could spend one’s life listening to media without knowing anything of what is really happening.



China’s New Emperor

In another country, Chinese President Xi Jinping’s concentration of power might trigger accusations of latter-day totalitarianism.

Zhou Enlai, Mao’s dutiful number two, is said to have responded to a question about the lessons of the French Revolution by saying that it was too soon to tell.

Websites blocked in mainland China


9 incredibly popular websites that are still blocked in China








C.ET:
In china thousands of sites cannot be accessed. However, for years people had been able to download VPN (for free or after more assaults only by paying) that allowed them to access sites with the help of VPN- even if you are in china, your computer can browse as if it was in another country (a country without undemocratic, abusive censorship).
THAT WAS BAD, BUT NOW IF YOU ARE CAUGHT USING A VPN? IT HAS BEEN MADE ILLEGAL.

AMAZINGLY ENOUGH, I heard on the BBC radio how your searches recorded by the party and the state at large will influence how Chinese will have access to jobs, and even to services- as banks, phone and internet companies, etc, are nationalized. What is doubly amazing is that I cannot find for the moment discussions about it on the web. It might be a very recent unlocked news… see you later.


PS: SO CHINESE,                  TO NOTE, the interests that people have in freedom of expression is similar in the west. You may not censor a whole site but people will censor actors, agents there. For a beginning.
PS2: the only reason I am aware of that, is thanks to my having worked there. I listened to the news all the time, I would never have understood the seriousness of the situation through that, guess it proves I am a slow one.
PS3: I don’t know how it works in Russia, but from what I gleaned it has similar hues.
