Sometimes we take our rights and freedoms in the US for granted. In many other countries people don't have the freedom of speech and the press. China, for example has harsh laws governing what people say, publish and even search for on the internet. It doesn't look like its going to get any better either. Although many have tried to push for a decrease of censorship in China, all attempts have failed. Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Liu Xiaobo, launched a harsh attack on the communist leaders of China on censorship. The general feelin is that China will resist change. After all, their system has worked as they are the most powerful nation in the world. But is it worth having less rights and freedoms?Thursday, October 14, 2010
