The PRC, I say this since there are 2 Chinas-the PRC and the ROC, is in a communist government that is too full of people that are concerned with what their neighbor is doing. They government is loaded with corrupt and insecure, backwards politicians that want to maintain a status quo of a slave state, and it seems that the US might be heading toward a slave state with some of it's backwards laws that delve too far into people's lives (i.e. Marriage, Abortion, Censorship, etc....).......
I don't see why the censorship policies should change because if the population is not even aware of it, why does it really matter? If they aren't complaining or being affected negatively in their views why mess with it?
Because their being fooled. They can't complain because there is no freedom of speech. You go and protest and you'll get arrested. So there is nothing the people can do.
rxt20- I think that internet censorpship is going to change in the next few years. It is true that people in China are experiencing the most freedom they've ever had but with that sense of freedom comes the want for more. Eventhough only a small sector of the Chinese society are internet users combine this with the masive population in China and this comes out to be quite a large number of people. Internet censorship will be forced to change because of the number of people involved in its use.
Internet censorship isn't going to change anytime soon. The majority of the internet users in China are a small sector of Chinese society: students and people with disposable income. This group is further narrowed to the major cities in China. Rural internet users are nearly nonexistent. Not to mention the Chinese people are experiencing the most freedom they've ever had.
It seems that the driving force behind changing the censorship in China is the economic benefit for the country. The fear of losing business with other countries will lead to changes in censorship. One of the persons interviewed commented on the change seen in China over the last 50 years and suggested that the internet in China will open up.
The speakers in this video gave some interesting remarks. The middle class in China is indeed growing, albeit slowly. The demand for more information will grow and the censorship in China will be questioned. The answer of how to change Chinese censorship is understanding why. Does anyone know?
I think the growing interest from outside countries and the investments they are putting into internet especially will eventually help in overcoming some of the strict censorship and make more loopholes in some of the regulations and rules.
