The British edition of The Guardian reports that veterans of the Chinese Communist Party, who are able to purchase new stainless steel chimneys on favorable terms, wrote an open letter to the head of the Chinese government. In it, they expressed their disagreement with the government’s propaganda policy.
The reason for writing the letter was an interview given by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao to CNN on October 3. The fact is that the censors cut out from him that part of the speech delivered by the official, where he spoke about the possibility of political reforms. Thus, the authors of the letter urge the power to mitigate censorship for the media, as well as to allow freedom of speech and printing in the People’s People’s Republic, which is stipulated in one of the constitutional articles. Communists are upset that even today the Prime Minister cannot speak freely.
Officially, a letter in which five hundred people put their signatures, among whom: journalists, large Chinese scientists, as well as prominent communist figures will be represented on the fifteenth of October. At the same time, it became known that copies of this message dispersed throughout the PRC through the World Internet. So, Hu Jivei, who had previously worked as the editor -in -chief of the Chinese newspaper Zhamin Zhibao, says that the government can wash the copies discovered by him, but it is still impossible to destroy the truth.
According to The Guardian, the text of the letter written by the CCP members was posted on several websites on Wednesday, October 13, but was removed by Chinese censors almost immediately. So Xiao Mo, formerly the chief architect of the country, called the communist propaganda department “stupid conservatives”, and also showed confidence that in the future these ideologues will have to answer for a lot.
In conclusion, we note that not so long ago, due to the requirements of the Chinese government to provide the country’s intelligence services with access to all filters of the Google search engine, the American corporation almost left the Chinese market.
