The Summary of BBC NEWS of Web Censorship: Correspondent report

The article of BBC News reports that the Chinese government severely censors the internet websites. The Chinese government's reason is it blocks pornographic sites and ones promoting things like terrorism. But the reality is very different; the searchers could not go to any website whose article was against or criticized the Chinese government. In fact, the Chinese government spent a lot of money to build the “Great Firewall of China” in order to block websites that are “dangerous” for China. The Chinese government could easily block and censor plenty of websites, some US-based computer software companies are among the accessories, like Google and Yahoo!, because these companies filter numerous kinds of information and websites in China. Utilizing these techniques, the Chinese government can easily block and control the websites that are against and criticize the Communist party, and arrest some people who are against and criticize Communist party.
