Behind the facade
The free flow of information is the purpose of the internet.
When your government does not like you to see something it is blocking this free flow.
Make the test:
世界人权宣言 / Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Chinese language page
Amnesty International Report 2008 http://thereport.amnesty.org/eng/Regions/Asia-Pacific/China
To remind all participants I have changed my twitter logo/avatar.

China's hunt for medals and the price of childhood
Just saw a documentary film about the cruel "Chinese way" of training children. The Red Race. It was disgusting and makes one sad and angry. I think that China has a long way of civilisation-as-humanism ahead.

It’s clear what Chao Gan, director of The Red Race, want us to feel about China’s gymnastics training schools for children. The documentary is mostly a series of scenes in which adorable kids are brought to tears by screaming coaches who push them past their breaking points physically and emotionally.
