I believe that since most sites are ‘BANNED’ in the PRC, we can’t believe you. What I’d like to say is that I wish the PRC would become a democray - of course, I’d like the US to become it, too.
Actually I myself is a little surprised that FR is not banned by GFW. But even if it is banned, it’s not difficult to do some tricks and get access to this site.
Anyway, I don’t see the point of arguing I am an agent or not.
Thank you all and I appreciate your concerns of this disaster.
My parents are OK.
Let’s pray for those who suffered.
It is true that the television, newspapers, and radios are government controlled and let people see and hear only what the government wants them to. I don't speak Chinese, but I did watch the English TV channel in China, and it had programs on Chinese culture, and some news programs praising the Chinese economy. Very much pro-China and pro-Chinese government propaganda (as opposed the the anti-US propaganda we get here).
China used to ban Chinese-language websites originating from outside the country (like WenXueCity), but have recently relented, and some of these are available inside the country now. They have been loosening up a bit.
FreeRepublic was not banned when I was there in 2006 nor in 2004.
