Reporters Sans Frontieres(RSF) points out Chinese journalists and bloggers are to undergo six-month training courses that will teach them how to eradicate false news, improve the feeling of social responsibility and reinforce journalistic ethics. In short, to make journalists and bloggers themselves actors in censorship. The initiative comes from the Propaganda department, directly linked to the Communist Party, and follows its announcement of 10 directives relating to the press in 2011.
They impose a blackout on social and economic problems with a view to reassuring the people and defending the concept of fair growth. Many issues are off-limits, so that the party line is not challenged. They include the property market, rising prices, corruption, the demolition of housing and compulsory relocation, residence permits, the absence of social security, inadequate transport during the Chinese New Year and popular discontent that finds expression in anti-government demonstrations.
Emulating the disgusting paradigm of infamous Graecokleptocrats, who persecute and jail dissident bloggers, the government of China terrorizes dissident bloggers. Blogging in China and Greece, the most corrupt country of Fourth Reich(EU), is considered an extreme-risk avocation. Freakish kleptocrats accuse dissident bloggers of treason, confiscate their computers, and lock them in jail! These prisoners of conscience follow the long tradition of Socrates, who was killed by the Athenian democracy.
Premier George Papandreou of Greece crossed the Rubicon on October 18, 2010, when his deranged minister destroyed a distinguished professor and dissident blogger. That’s why the Global Tax Revolt declared October 18 as the International Day Against Cybercop Brutality. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globaltaxrevolt
RSF notes the Chinese media, including blogs, are forbidden to talk of major criminal affairs, now ranked according to four levels of seriousness. Quotas have been set for the publication of articles and posts dealing with natural disasters or major accidents. In these last two cases, the department also proposes limiting the amount of information made available by banning regional news outlets from exchanging information and journalists and bloggers from answering questions from foreigners.
RSF condemns this escalation in the control of information. The Propaganda Department shows itself to be ever more inventive in working out new directives to put pressure on journalists. This training takes the form of banning among journalists any critical sprit and making out of them state employees in the service of state ideology.
