      Just because Lee Wen Ho is Chinese. Are you playing a race card here?

      Shame that you will be restricted going on like that.
      So this is what it has come to. Go ahead and try.

          How is a "New York-based media watchdog group" the same as the NYT?
          I am not saying they are the same.

          Such groups often have a problem with the reliability of their information wrt the PRC and similar countries. That the NYT writing a news item based on this information isn't going to help them, when they should be rebuilding after their fiasco.

            So you're arguing that the NYTimes shouldn't publish about China because of something that happened over 5 years ago? Something that they have apologized for and scrutinized heavily over.

              No, I'm mocking your stunning ignorance that spans whatever topic you touch. Yet you speak as if you have some authority.

                Anyway, to put UR's trolling and strawmen to an end:

                New York, February 6, 2006—The Committee to Protect Journalists mourns the death of colleague Wu Xianghu, deputy editor of Taizhou Wanbao. Wu died on Thursday after sustaining serious injuries in October 2005 when traffic police in the eastern coastal city of Taizhou, Zhejiang province, attacked him for an expose that embarrassed them, according to international…




                Think that's enough?

                        Freedom of the press in the PRC has been steadily under attack since Hu and Wen came to power. Censorship of the press and internet has steadily increased during their reign.

                        It's really sad, since so many (including me) had hopes there would be more reforms. Instead it's been a long string of disappointments. Hu especially, has turned out to be nothing more than a standard CCP aparatchik.

                        I don't think these guys will be remembered very fondly 20 years from now.

                          Probably. Crackdowns are expected when there is a transition of power like from Zheng to Hu. However, Hu's been in power long enough to begin expecting some of those changes. I never did to begin with, though.

                              I'm amazed at how delusional UR is when it comes to China.
                              A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.
