"So rather than face the bitter truth, China has placed severe restrictions on the Internet and enlisted America's high-tech companies as their Internet police"
- Tom Lantos
About this Quote
This quote by Tom Lantos is describing the Chinese government's efforts to regulate the circulation of details online. As opposed to enabling its residents to access the full range of details readily available online, the Chinese government has actually positioned serious limitations on the net and also got American modern firms to aid them police it. This implies that the Chinese federal government is actively censoring the Internet, blocking access to particular websites as well as web content, as well as keeping an eye on the tasks of its residents online. This has had a significant impact on freedom of expression in China, as citizens are incapable to access info that the government deems to be a threat to its power. The Chinese federal government's actions are a clear offense of civils rights, and it is important that the international area acts to ensure that the Chinese government respects the right to freedom of expression.
