I have been learning a lot about Chinese culture. I have created a blog on a Chinese web site. I share my America culture and discuss the similarities, or differences between the cultures. It is a very nice page to visit, and no one is rude. It is for Chinese who wish to learn more about American culture, not many Americans see my blog. 2 weeks old and the blog has had 1500 visitors. Read at the bottom of my posts for the web site.

I have a few questions to ask:

one:Do most Chinese know that Chinese government blocks many oversea media websites which they consider them as political sensitive to their ruling?

Two:Do most Chinese think what the government is blocking many oversea media website is infringing to the rights of their knowing ?

Three:Why doesn't Chinese government allow ordinary people in China to install satellite TV receivers?

Four:Do most Chinese know that Chinese government censors and filters many contents when they use Google and other search engines to find information?

Five:What do you think of why Chinese government is doing these things above?

Six:Do most Chinese still believe communism ideology now?

I don't know whether other Chinese people know about that, but at least I know.

I know. and I hope that someday the situation can get better. but now, if I need to know something that our government dosen't want us to know, I would ask my foreign friends to do a google search, and then send the information to me by email. after all, we all should thank internet! internet is so fast and so wide that nothing can be covered well!

I guess they worry that people would know more information that government dosen't want us to know.

Yes. tell you a funny thing. last year, I talked to a friend by MSN. I told her:"here in south China, there is a delicious fruit, named LiChi, you can do a google search to find how it looks!"

then both of me and the friend did a google search. on my google page, I found nothing except lichi, but the friend told me:"Rose, I just did a google search, one of these pictures is a huge pe*nis!!" I said:"how come! we did the search at the same time, I didn't find pe*nis!" she said:"hold on, I am gonna send you my screen picture." and she did!! God! there it was!! actually, I didn't see what's wrong with that pe*nis
