A Self-censored BBC China

According to the Financial Times, BBC is publishing a new “self-censored” Chinese news service at BBCChina.com.cn. BBCChinese.com is still uncensored, e.g. this story from late January covers new censorship efforts from the Chinese gov’t (typically, such items are blocked in China). [Thanks Miel.]

Yahoo Accused of Helping to Jail 2nd Chinese

Reuters writes:

“Yahoo Inc. provided evidence to Chinese authorities that led to the imprisonment of an Internet writer, lawyers and activists said on Thursday, the second such case involving the U.S. Internet giant.

The company cooperated with Chinese police in a case that led to the 2003 arrest of Li Zhi, who was charged with subverting state power and sentenced to eight years in prison after trying to join the dissident China Democracy Party, writer Liu Xiaobo said.”

The other Chinese Yahoo helped to identify was Shi Tao, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Support Freedom shares his views on this in the forum, likening the acts of IT companies in China today to what IBM did in Nazi Germany.
