Yesterday YouTube was blocked in mainland China again. It is reportedly due to a video about Tibet. A Foreign Ministry spokesman from China said the Chinese government is managing the network in accordance with the law to block the dissemination of content harmful to national security and social benefits.
Of course, what he said is RIGHT. YouTube is a free place to show everything including somethings bad for children and youth. It doesn’t fit the standard of Chinese government and cannot be controlled by them. Honestly it doesn’t fit the traditional Chinese culture either. So the best way is to block it. Anyway, it’s not the first time they’ve blocked it.
