by Zan Aizong Beijing authorities on Tuesday December 16 blocked lively legal weblog "Rule of Law" (fatianxia.com) due to its excessive amount of sensitive content, including publishing the controversial recent "Charter 08" calling on the Chinese government to increase popular participation in political decisionmaking, increased accountability and transparency to combat official corruption, and the ratcheting up of rule by law rather than by individual political leader dictate. The weblog's network connection is already out of service. The editor of the blog states that the website's ideal is for "the rule of law to take root, and make China think." It allows controversial views to be aired as long as they are within the scope of constitutionally protected free speech, but it was still unable to avoid official censorship. On the blog's web page there is now an announcement: "Due to an excess of content inconsistent with government policies, from the morning of December 16 2008 this website's service has been suspended." http://www.peacehall.com/news/gb/china/2008/12/200812162238.shtml © Copyright 2008 by Boxun News Top of Page |
