U.S Companies Aid and Abet Chinese Internet Censorship

Questions:

1. The Chinese government frequently emphasizes that its online censorship prevents citizens from accessing pornographic sites, deemphasizing its political censorship. How do you think these two types of censorship differ?

answer: For chinese they do not value political censorship but instead they believed that online censorship or banning prevents citizens from accessing pronographic sites. While Political censorship exists when a government conceals information from its citizens. but basically they reduce the importance of Political censorship.

2. Why have human rights groups critized Cisco and Yahoo! more than other companies that comply with the demands of the Chinese government?

answer: This two IT giant company are critized more than the other companies, because they regulated the human rights groups for reconstructing search engine in order to access to websites that the communist government consider as lust and some other reasons.

3. If U.S companies do not comply with the demands of China's communist government, they may lose business to their competitors. What do you think these companies should do?

answer: They must have to fight and debate. They implemented a comprehensive human rights policy with respect to China and other countries that engage in Internet censorship.
