780 Words4 Pages

However, as a result of the introduction of Internet and other forms of mass media, the CCP can now censor any content the Party wishes; this results in citizens only being able to see what the CCP approves, creating a new way for the CCP to control the minds and opinions of it’s citizens. The two most powerful media technologies, satellite television and the Internet, are fully controlled by the Chinese government. Every national media group, all 47 which include radio, television, and film, are state owned and state run by either the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) or the State Press and Publications Agency (SPPA), both of which are run by the The Central Propaganda Department of the CCP.

On the third, all IPs must have state-issued licenses, while being willing to give user information to the state if requested. On the fourth, individual users are required to be registered with the government in order to get onto the Internet. In addition, the government encourages families, Internet cafes and campuses to get Internet filtering software to block surfers from viewing outlawed content. This censorship software, known as the “Great FireWall of China”, has allowed the CCP to regulate everything with even the small potential of being seen by Chinese citizens. These regulations deny citizens access to accurate news, alternative opinions, global connections, social media, and other rights that come with using the Internet.

    Governments do not have the right to censor materials from the public. People should have the right to decide for themselves what they want to be subject to. People need to decide for themselves, this means they should have the right to read, write, or search what they want to. Humans are curious creatures, and no human has the right to take knowledge from another human. In China, the government does not let its people think for themselves, people are not allowed to read, or search on the internet any material that might suggest them to think for themselves.

    They have complete dominance over everything their people see. The government selects what society witnesses on the news, and often even changes or gives completely different information to keep them under their full control. For example, when Montag is on the run after the book incident, the government loses track of him and falsely orchestrates Montag’s apprehension. They refuse to allow society to have any sort of thought that they do not have complete control over them; which perfidiously, they do. In reality, foreign reporters struggle to get any good and truthful information from China.

  • Summary: The Role Of Legalism In China

    1224 Words  | 5 Pages

    As shown, media censorship is a major aspect of Chinese government since it is forcing Legalist ethics to continue to remain prevalent in the country because the government does not wish to accept controversial opposing viewpoints, the nation does not want to undergo another period of chaos, and citizens are being punished for expressing “freedom of speech.” After this, it can be determined that China has always been based off of parts of Legalism. For instance, after the explosion in Tianjin, few citizens were accepting what the government was telling them due to previous incidents (Rauhala). Therefore, media censorship must have been existing for a long period of time if this issue has recurred multiple times. It can also be concluded that this issue will continue to remain prevalent in China ideologies because the government is different from Western countries, meaning there will always be opposition.

Many modern tabloids, twenty four hour news channels and other mainstream media sources have increasingly been criticized for not conforming to general standards of journalistic integrity. In nations described as authoritarian by most international think-tanks and NGOs media ownership is generally something very close to the complete state control over information in direct or indirect ways. Undesirable consequences which occur due to media imperialism are: • Commercially driven ultra-powerful mass market media is primarily loyal to sponsors i.e. advertisers and government rather than to the public interest.
