The story of the 42 journalists imprisoned in China

This article should be read (or at least scanned — it’s long) by anyone interested in the new freedoms now being enjoyed by the press in China. And the press really is enjoying many more freedoms, at least in some ways (like writing about sex or other social issues). When it comes to writing about politics, however, there’s still a way to go.

From the Committee to Protect Journalists, brought to my attention by ACB.

They don’t represent China, do they? How many reporters does China have? What’s the percentage of detained?

Before our sociology-Nazi starts to defend China government’s record on free press, let’s do the math first.

i don’t know you have the habit of collecting porn pic, but pls ask for permission before you distribute them to others, OK?

I don’t think Associate Press would ever disseminate porn material. Heck, a dead PLA soldier shouldn’t arouse anybody.
