I listen  to the podcast 'Search Engine' published by the CBC in which they 
look at how  internet technology is influencing society.  In their most recent  
edition, they went to China to see how much freedom there was there and the  
bottom line was that there was a huge degree of freedom granted to bloggers  
and web site designers - they saw some examples of how the 'great firewall of  
China' filtered web content etc.  The host made the comment that the only  
times that he felt the strong presence of police was when he took out a camera  
in public - and added that he didn't think that it was much worse than what  
one gets in New York City.





As we speak, the Chinese government is patrolling Everest  basecamp, and 
confiscating any and most media devices (cell phones, cameras,  laptops, etc), 
in 
an effort to censor what the outside world sees and hears.  They've shut down 
the Tibetan and Chinese sides too.
