China Concedes (A Little)
Filed under: Zportz > Media Minute > Politik
We mentioned a few days ago that the Chinese government has blocked journalists' access to a number of Internet sites at the Olympic Games' main press center and media venues.
There's been a little development.
The government has agreed to unblock some Internet sites.
Unfortunately, others remained off limits.
This is far from the “free and unfettered access” the organizers and Chinese officials had promised for months.
Boo!
Senior International Olympic Committee officials met late into the night Thursday with their Chinese counterparts and said they reached an agreement to unblock sites, although the IOC statement said the details were still being formulated.
The IOC is such a big bunch of pussies.
Why don't they DEMAND that the Chinese keep their promise?
Too bad these games haven't even begun and they're already tainted with so much unpleasantness.

Wow, governments that break promises…now that is a new one!!!
Well I already know that I won't be watching.
The IOC will NEVER make China keep their promise, they were bribed to give China the games and they are open to bribes for anything else. If they tried to come down on China too hard China will just turn around and expose how much they used to pay off each member of the committee.
China has always had these limits on internet access in their country. Why would they allow additional access to foreigners who come to their country? Why do these people need such acces when they are in China if they can get it before going there?
You do realize that our country censors our media too, don't you? When was the last time you saw the coffins of those killed in Iraq or Afghanastan arrive home? Never because the Bush administration won't allow it. During the Viet Nam war there was footage of caskets coming off planes on the news every night. The press is censored here too.
Perez…do you have any idea which sites are being blocked (or can you give us a few highlights…other than the obvious hate-China propaganda and pornography)?
Why did the IOC agree to have the Olympics in China in the first place. Of all the countries that wanted to host the Games, the IOC gives it to China of all countries? China treats its people horribly & its animals even worse. Boo indeed on the IOC.
China wanted the games to go on without a hitch.
With all the emphasis on just that, it's obvious the world media will only focus on the bad things about the games.
A shame really.
people have to remember they are going into one of the few remaining communist states left in the world. They have over 1 billion people that they need to 'control'. What difference does it make if the press can't access porn and subversive sites. They are there to celebrate the athletes. that should be the whole story, not history or problems of china. If they feel the need to include that in their writings, do it after they return home or have someone from their home write about it. Yes, there are alot of horrifying things that happen in China, but that is not what they are there for. And if they can't go a few weeks without their porn fixes, stay home.
I won't be watching any of the Olympics this year.
THEY'RE FREAKING COMMUNISTS!!! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? DAMN COMMIES.
It's their country, it's their culture, it's their business, they are trying very hard to have the olympics go as sucessful a s possible, and a guy like perez who idolizes someone as parasite hilton has brains to comment on polictics.
maybe everyone should STOP DOING BUSINESS WITH CHINA, and they would get the freakin' message.
:l-
Yes, Anna, Perezite gets ALL of its gossip second-hand, roaming the internet stealing stories to post, and then he calls it HIS BLOG. LOL. The only reason people come here is to see how low he will go. Kinda like watching the monkeys at the zoo.
:l-
I wonder if your site will be blocked, perez. I'll check for you.
The olympics should have gone to Toronto! Who needs China anyway!
The women and men in China arent 'WHORES, ALCOHOLICS, BI-SEXUAL,DUG ADDICTS,FUCKUPS' like people here in the U.S. - Americans are ALL fucked up! You read the BIBLE? The bible is strictly AGAINST people doing WHATEVER they want to do. The bible is against SO-CALLED Freedom of the people, due to the simple fact, that humans given that freedom would fuck up the world, when allowed to do whatever they want to do. Look at the U.S. as the #1 global fuckup. ANYTHING GOES IN THE U.S.! Thats why the U.S. is all fucked up, people do WHATEVER they want to do. So deal wth all your dumb ass problems. Another thing: this is why a number of religious group dont believe in voting. Why? Because when you allow MAN to change gods laws - look at what you get. Rapes, Murders, drugs, gays, etc. Wake up! MOST people NEED to be CONTROLLED. Fools! You need law and order. Praise China!
China's government is still banning Amnesty International's website. Pure evil.

"The Tiananmen tragedy was a defining moment in 20th century history, but in China, no one is allowed to discuss it. Remembering has become a crime. Today, the Chinese are a people who ask no questions, and who have no past. They live as in a coma, blinded by fear and newfound prosperity"
Chinese dissident Ma Jian, author of the new novel Beijing Coma.

I thought this is meant to be a celebrity website, not a place for a no-brainer like you to express your western ideologies on how to run a country that you know nothing about.
I bet the only reason why you give a shit about this article is because they have blocked this celebrity rubbish site
Perez, just go back to doing what you thought was your expertise
Re: Alex – Wow champ. You are saying men should follow God's Law and then you say "praise China." You do realize that China restricts religious freedoms right? Eat it bitch.
Perez, this is enough.
The Chinese people get so much discrimination from the western world. You are encouraging this. And the Chinese deserve an apology from you.
If the United States did this, everyone would see the good side of it. The Chinese are coming up with good plans and ideas to protect their own people. I don't see Bush doing anything to protect the American people.
There would be no criticism at all if the United States did this.
You are getting a bit out of order, Perez.
The young people in China deserve a strong apology from you.
I'm certain some of these posts are being made by the Chinese government in some capacity. They reek of Engrish, are fantastically supportive of the government and are quick to rip on the United States. It's interesting if it's true, the Chinese people can't see your site, but the Chinese government thinks it's appropriate to influence people who can.
perez.
won't u stop talking about politics and steal more shits from j u st ja red?
that hating black people turned out to be not true and made up by your majesty.
even miley cyrus has more talents than you.
you should apologize to all asian people, for all your posts about asians are negative. what's your problem, never sucked an asian dick?
you don't really know and you didn't even mention several days ago a Korean reporter shamelessly peeked the rehearsal of the opening ceremony and fucking reported it to details!!!
and China just over-reacted to that !
Fuck China.
fuck News.
haha
yu wunt bbque dog me like like bbque dog, chin li fi li sici sici yu mutha fuckas dont be hatin us china rasta muffins me lik y long time
you CAN read this site here in china
The chinese (and asians in general) are very focused on saving face and don't want to be humiliated.
Well, in this olympic games they're going to lose face totally and it will be a huge embarrassment for them.
Perez, I used to be such a huge fan of you, coz I always thought you are smart, fair and entertaining, but not after this post.
Why do you people even care about for what's going on in China???? care for your own ass and your own country, you have no right to talk about China and whatever it's done by its government while your country and your government are in suuuuuch a mess.
Pls, once again, care for your own ass, leave China alone, otherwise you are gotta regret it.
Couldn't agree more:
I thought this is meant to be a celebrity website, not a place for a no-brainer like you to express your western ideologies on how to run a country that you know nothing about.
I bet the only reason why you give a shit about this article is because they have blocked this celebrity rubbish site
Perez, just go back to doing what you thought was your expertise
I have nothing against China or the Chinese, but giving the Olympics to them was a big mistake. My main concern is the shit poor quality of the air. How are the athletes supposed to perform optimally when their lungs are saturated with soot? What was the IOC THINKING?!!!
I can't believe they passed over Toronto Canada for China!! They get what they deserve, too bad the olympic athleets are no longer the stars of the show!!!
A previous poster of yours on a prior related story stated that the promise you've trotted out here of a 'free and unfettered access' was never promised. Fake story. Anyway, free and unfettered needs to be defined. If media is not charged for the internet, then they're getting the 'free' part. If unfettered means the ability to e-mail results and Olympic related stories, then I'd bet they have that, too. If it means they're choke because they can't get their private little gambling or porn sites, then tough. Respect your host country and its prior known limits.
what did anyone expect. yes they are communists but be that as it may they are a dictatership and should not be treated like a regular country by getting the Olympics. That only encoureges them.
This is exactly why the games should have been held in Toronto instead. The IOC brought this upon themselves, they should have known better.
Hey Perez, I'm in China for two months for a journalism internship and wikipedia, google, and youtube get blocked all the time. Facebook is often really hard to get onto as well. But the good news is Perezhilton.com is never blocked!
Re: ObJoe – Re: wha – ….
