Saying To Put On A Shirt

Ten years

to ten-year anniversary of the port of Hong Kong to the People's Republic, there is a detailed blog entry titled China's political legacy at Simon World , who also cited all the articles from the Economist to the event, after reading the information you really exhaustive.

Simon World also linked to the highly readable article by Daisann McLane , one living in Hong Kong and New York journalist who writes in the online magazine Slate of The Hong Kong handover hangover .

over the official painting Halcyon Days Pearl that was given for the tenth anniversary in order - a personality cult in which it drives a cold shiver down the spine - Image Thief writes in the brief article We're Hu Jintao's Lonely Hearts Club Volume .

addition, I refer to Petra Alden council short text on tagesschau.de from which I would like to quote briefly:

on television are political Satires transmitted on the Internet is discussed on democracy, the newspapers and the radio spread information that is taboo in communist China. However, despite the freedoms since the acquisition of the former crown colony by Beijing appeared a frightening phenomenon, the Hong Kong political scientist Joseph Cheng has noted: the self-censorship. "The greatest danger is that Hong Kong people are less willing to challenge Beijing. They always say less 'No' to Beijing. If you durchblätterst the newspapers of the last ten years, China's leaders are not criticized directly," says Cheng.

not be true in Hong Kong dissidents jailed or simply disappear without a trace, as in Communist China. But more and more journalists simply do without criticizing the Beijing government. Most are simply afraid for their jobs, so political scientists Cheng. "Almost all media are powerful corporate bosses in Hong Kong and all these companies have major interests on the mainland, they do business there This is the reason of self-censorship, we are so dependent.. of the Chinese economy, which makes us impotent, people are afraid to stand up for their rights. "

order business with the booming mainland not to threaten journalists from their media bosses are encouraged to write anything that the government in Beijing or the individual local authorities could annoy. Beijing-critical journalists are gradually replaced by Beijing-friendly.
