Not Cool
Filed under: Zportz > Politik
It's news like this that makes us happy we live in a FREE country.
According to new reports, China will censor the Internet used by the foreign media during the Olympics in Beijing.
This completely reverses the pledge the government had made to offer complete media freedom during the games.
Sun Weide, a spokesman for the organizing committee, said "During the Olympic Games we will provide sufficient access to the Internet for reporters."
He also added that journalists would not be able to access websites or any information connected to the Falungong spiritual movement, which is banned in China.
Weide added that some other sites would also be unavailable to journalists, but did not specify which ones.
Oh, and did we mention that the Chinese people have to deal with this every day? The same thing in Cuba.
Their government blocks out certain sites and restricts access to their people.
Craziness!
its the same thing in Iran…its horrible
Then it looks like the REAL news will be reported AFTER the reporters and olympians get back from China.
oh fuck you perez, why don't you get over yourself? if you are bitching about this because you think you're a journalist, you're not. if you hate the olympics so much then don't watch! i will keep on watching.
PEREZ IS LATE AS USUAL
Those same "News Reporters" has been reporting this for the last few days. You're behind the times just like you have been with everything else lately. Just go back to stealing crap from ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY!
first…and we absolutely do NOT live in a free country. Sorry to say, perez.
america isnt a free country dumbass
No Perez in China? How will they get by.
its the same thing in Iran
this is because there is a high probability that computer and internet accessed in china will be hacked into. By hacking into computer systems of journalists and visitors hackers will be able to access a large amount of private information.
the USA used to be free - a long time ago. before Joseph McCarthy, and before George W. Bush. Before that, you used to be able to say whatever you wanted
god bless america first
i want to know why there havent been other news stations talking about how "china hates black people". Was that another dead fidel castro ruse, perez?
i love being an american!
I am not surpised, I knew the Chinese gov't would go back on their word!! They do it to their people and united nations ALL THE TIME!
crazy bitches
Perez: Will the foreign media be able to skirt this by using their cell phones or usb devices that allow them to connect to the internet using an international plan? Or will those devices be confisgated upon arrival to China?
wtf!? china is ruinning the olympics!!! screw them…they should of done it somewhere else…theyre stooooooopid!!!!
Now we all know why there was so many protests during the passing of the torch! The Chinese gov't SUKS!
I hate effen """""""""""""" commiz'""""""""""""""""""""
hey China….
ztop polluting the Earth….U people R unreal…….
r u zure they r not """robotz”””””'>>>>>>>>>>>????????
Re: kenda – How stupid are you? It's about censorship and oppression. I love the Olympics and this is totally diametric to the Olympic spirit. rarely agree with Perez, but this is one of those times. Hopefully reporters will get air cards and they work there.
First they killed our pets with tainted pet food, now this?!
Mario,
I agree,
We should fall to our knees and thank whatever higher power we believe in, every day, because of all the freedoms we have. Seriously.
suxx!
Your voting for someone who has alot of the same views as China. obama. he wants to silence talk radio in the fairness doctrine. what is the difference with china censoring Internet.
OK Perez, at least you didnt say something stupid like not planning on going to Hong Kong…Just remember Hong Kong is NOT part of China. We do not suffer from communism. k bbs? coolness. xxx
I dont understand why they are even having the Olympics in China in the first place! you can't even see / breathe from all the shit in the air and its effin communist..uhhhhh thats smart.
ps…not to mention the absolutely unhuman and disgraceful treatment of the Tibetans by the Chinese Government since 1959!
the western media doesn't report how easy it is to get around chinese internet blocks and that it's really not that big of a deal. they should worry more about how the internet will feel like 1999 dial up! go there, see what it's like. china will surprise you.
I hope the idiots on the Olympics Committee are banging their heads against the wall. Serves them right for picking such a horrible and corrupt country to host the games in at such a critical time in history.
It's fucking COMMUNIST China, for chrissake. Why would anyone find this shocking or surprising????????
Re: smile – i knoww..
OMG.. wtf is their problem over there.. "Kenda" stfu and let him do what he wants.. it's not ur f*ing site.. if u don't like it then don't come to the site..
We dont have a completely free country, because our government is full of closed minded assholes. But in this sense, We have it wayyy better than them. You would think that the chineese wouldnt censor the web because of how many people their are..wierd.
hey….kim jong yall……

Um, I dunno about this… have you actually ever been to China and tried out their internet instead of listening to our exaggerated American media's accounts? I was just in China doing a teaching job for two months and all this Tibet, communism, and internet censoring stuff is total bullshit the American media made up. I was able to use the internet for whatever I wanted and there was no censoring! I went to Tibet on a trip and every single person there was happy and accepting of China's takeover because they were third world country before and now they are thriving on their economic success. I think people should actually take things into perspective and not listen to American media 100%, because it's not always the most truthful (as we have come to know from past events).
If you think that China is so horrible, why do you advocate government policies which would eventually lead to this type of control in our country. You say you are glad you are free, then why do you support politicians and policies which increase government in American's lies. You really need to figure out what you support because you are all over the board.
MAn you Are stupid Fat Body!! You think we have freedom here? you are very confused.
You're not living in a free contry too… Open your eyes you're all brainwashed. You think you're living in a free country, that you're country is the best and all the rest of the world is crap… Awake, Your gouvernment is afraid of China because it's gonna be the next world-power. They keep you affraid of everything… and it's easy to controled you after….
You will think that i'm crazy or weird, but Wake up gang, your country's worst than a dictatorship.
GOD!… bless the USA
As an American who lives in China and reads Perez religiously (on the vast majority of the internet that isnt censored) your negative articles about thecountry are pissing me off. There are so many positive things to focus on in China…you make yourself sound like an ass complaining about an issue that goes so far beyond your (or my) knowledge. Keep to the trashy gossip and leave the global issues to people with global experience (and dare I say open minds).
Same thing here in Turkey, every day.
No YouTube or Wordpress, and don't get me started on porn — all blocked.
perez needs to shut the hell up
because he has no idea what hes talking about
a thirteen year old could outdebate him in world issues
stop being sucha douche to china!
the good 'ol U S of A…thank GOD for it!
arabic countries are all like that too……
Re: DaBitchIzIndakrazihouze – why dont you shut the hell up, and actually DEFINE communism before you start using it
To Ash:
I hear ya, but was your trip lead by a guide/escort from China? Did you see the Tibetan flag flying anywhere? Did you see any pictures of the Dalai Lama displayed. Sorry, but I don't think that the Chinese Government's treatment of Tibetans is made up propaganda.
Re: Don – chinas not communist its capitalist you douchebag
why is anyone surprised that the chinese renigged on their word? this is what you get when you lie down with dogs. the free press and the free world should boycott these olympics. it's no longer about sport - the olympics are big business with huge endorsement deals on the line for athletes.
Yea - they really hate it when the world finds out they club dogs to death right in front of their owners.
If sports people had some dignity, they wouldn't go to China
hey perez - love ya but what is the source of this info? you falsely reported about the bars in china banning black people and that turned out to not be true. I understand you printing celebrity gossip..we take it all with a grain of salt. But please leave the reporting of real news stories to the professionals and stick to showing us pictures of Britney at Starbucks. Thanks!
BOYCOTT THE OLYMPICS THIS YEAR!!!
LOL what did they expect, holding the Olympics there? Surely they didn't think that China would change their policies for the benfit of foreigners?
WHO GIVES A SHIT JUST DONT FORGET THE HOT SAUCE LIKE THE LAST CARRYOUT just think of all the chinese prostitutes sucking visitoes long time its like sticking your dick into an order of eggfooyoung with extra gravy. Fortune cookie reads, man has lots of hair on his head but on the hole women have more. Will the us team get their laundry done there before they leave. I thought Woody Allen would try out for the team hes into yellow sex with minors
Besides info on the Falun gong movement being banned, you will also not find any record of the Tiananmen Square fiasco on websites or even in their textbooks. Doesn't mean I agree with it, but it is their country.
Uh. Yeah. It's called communism. What a novel thought!
they got what they wanted (the olympics) by lying to everybody, now they going to spit in the world's face, who were the idiots that approve this travesty??
perezhilton.com being one of those sites.
it was such a mistake having the olympics there.
What's worse, a country that won't let the truth come out or a media that wants to spin the news to their liking. I am happy and proud to be an American, but the msm is really taking their jobs for granted or cutting off their nose to spite their face.
Like what?
people who think china isn't all that bad clearly need to OPEN THEIR EYES…read a newspaper because you clearly aren't getting the whole story
They are freaking commies, what do you expect? And the pollution there is amazing.
Fucking the communist country and fuck the Olympics. I'll get my updates on ESPN. Boycott the commie fucks.
You're worried about limited internet access when there are people there being persecuted and tortured? You're a flake.
stick to entertainment news…and you're nto even good at that anymore.
Yes its horrible but its none of our business. That's why we are at WAR because we dont mind our business. Who are we to tell other countries what to do? We have to be concerned with what happens in this country?
Fuck Cuba, China, North Korea and Iran….
We have to be worried that our homes arent going into foreclosure and if I am going to have a job in this shit ecomony ALL BECAUSE WE DIDNT LIKE THAT SADDAM HUSSIEN MISTREATED HIS PEOPLE….SO WHAT.
Plus the olympics is about Sports and Fun not politics. AND ITS FUCKED UP THAT OUR ATHLETES WHO HAVE TRAINED FOR 4 YEARS FOR A CHANCE OF A LIFE TIME TO WIN A GOLD MEDAL has to be scarred with POLITICS..
Fuck George Clooney, Steven Speilberg and Sharon Stone…..thats why they are all talentless dicklicke
