China Blocks CNN And BBC TV
from the websites-not-enough dept
Does China really think that because they don't show information, people will actually think it doesn't exist? Going beyond their usual blockage of websites they don't like China also blocked satellite TV broadcasts of CNN and the BBC after they mentioned Falun Gong. Doesn't this seem like a colossal waste of time and money?

No Subject Given
They wouldn't bother if it wasn't working. Sure some will get the information but the vast majority won't.

Not if you're trying to run a Communist nation and maintain total control.
