Comments on: Chinese Government Is Really Sick Of Its Publications Falling For Satire, Bans Quoting From Foreign Media http://beijingcream.com/2013/04/chinese-government-bans-quoting-from-foreign-publications/ A Dollop of China Tue, 22 Jan 2019 17:42:34 +0000 hourly 1 By: MAC http://beijingcream.com/2013/04/chinese-government-bans-quoting-from-foreign-publications/#comment-221050 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:21:20 +0000 http://beijingcream.com/?p=11833#comment-221050 This sounds scary, but if it’s reported accurately then this will probably be yet another directive that is barely followed at all. Unless they basically decide that everything is implicitly authorized until it’s not, this regulation would, as written, seem to require the Global Times, for instance, to completely gut its website. We all know that past campaigns against things like “vulgar content” have done nothing to raise the tone of the Chinese media, so I don’t think that this amounts to much more than a demand for editors to be extra-strict on undesirable foreign reporting. This obviously isn’t a good thing, but I don’t see how they could actually expect to do what they seem to be saying.
