No wonder Youtube is Ban in China..Hope am wrong...

And I thought the U.S. was crupted o.o Of course I can't say I'm not suprised. Though why ban anything at all? People will find out eventually. At least that's the way I see it anyways. I'll have to watch those videos if I actually allow myself time to do so. I've been busy scraping by to make money wherever i could. Which looks promising I might actually be able to accumlate savings which would be a plus for me.

hi LetranKnight25! what's up with them banning youtube? Another form of dictatorship, I guess. I feel sorry for their people who were given less opportunity that they don't deserve. The first video where that "guy" bravely faced the military tanks made me think how hard it was for them to fought 1989 dictatorship. Imagine that? He literally stopped 3 tanks? I wonder what happened to him after that? He was popularly known as "the tankman" on youtube, right?!. Do you have any idea what happened to him afterwards? Anyway, there are so many issues revolving China, the Media and it's freedom of speech. I was shocked to see the other day on a cable documentary about a girl who is an internet blogger and was arrested (house-arrest) because of her articles and videos raging about china's policy. It's crazy! Hope there will be no dictatorship such as these in the future and I hope that there will be huge a transition when it comes to politics in China. It's 2010 now and not 1989...oh... I'm sad.

LetranKnight25, First of all, what is your point here when you brought this discussion up? Secondly, being blatantly aware that Youtube is banned in China, you referenced your discussion with Youtube video feeds? No offense here, you are not in anyway being fair or objective on your part and I feel you are just another individual inviting another culture or political bashing session! Since, you have not done much homework on your part to raise the issue here, then let me raise a few issues for you whilst you raise your awareness to another level (higher, of course). I do not think any government including your beloved Philippines for that matter would like to ban any media for no rhyme or reason and as a Foreign Ministry spokesman once quoted to the journalists that the internet "needs to be regulated by law in order to prevent the spread of harmful information and for national security." Prior before the ban, the Chinese government have already been clear from the start about their censorship policy. As an old adage once said: "When in China, do what the Chinese do" and I suppose any one who wants to conduct any business would have to observe the bylaws and customs of that country. I just do not see why the administrations in Youtube could not block these other materials when they can control other stated undesirable feeds from being uploaded in their servers. That which to me is just a matter of extra man hours to resolve the issue. And since, they cannot work and conform within the parameters - banning is just inevitable and begging. You mention about educating but I think you really forgot that Youtube needs to be educated too, as far as learning a thing or two about conforming to the laws of other countries. I feel that they have forgotten in their little cubicle head office in the States, they are actually running a global enterprise which need to be culture, custom and legal tolerant. Do you think China is the only country that banned Youtube? Well, let me enlighten you that this fourth most visited site in the world is being censored by other countries like Brazil, Indonesia, Iran, Morocco, Pakistan, Tunisia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates. Also, YouTube has also been censored by individual institutions within the United States and United Kingdom. So, who do you think needs to be educated more Youtube or the countries that censored it? From what I see, you certainly lacked the homework here and this post just seems to be prejudiced on your part. No offense taken. Lastly, who are we to judge and/or tell a country on how to run theirs when we have enough clutters at our own backyard?!!

I am a Chinese but I don't know why they forbide it. Maybe I think it's about tiblet. After forbiding youtube, the native media provider website goes very fast, like youku.com, toudo.com.

Yes, I think the people in China has a little influence on their government's acts. But on the other hand, they DO have a lot of issues especially in online world.

I am completely and utterly shocked about this, here in the UK anything like this would cause an immediate public backlash and the media would have a field day. There would be riots, protests and violence

Protecting the governments interest is a priority for this country. I'm just glad that mylot is not banned in their country because it does open a venue for new learning and democracy for people living in a communist country like China and North Korea
