  1. Freedom of Speech In China By: Xiaoxiao Hu

  2. Do you know… “Free Speech” in China that may lead to accusations : • Inciting subversion of state power • Life imprisonment • High treason • Jailing • Reform through labor(extrajudicial imprisonment for a maximum of three years) • And so on

  3. A Horrible and real Case Liu Xiaobo, who was the Nobel Peace Prize winner of year 2010, was arrested the day before his "Charter 08“went public. Due to his set of democratic and human rights Reform proposals with the support of 300 prominent intellectuals, he was charged with "inciting subversion of state power." (http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2010/10/is_there_freedom_of_speech_in_china.html )

  4. Weibo VS Facebook • People in China don’t even know Facebook or Twitter (Actually we can’t access them) • We can’t access to the YouTube, Wikipedia or any websites with sensitive comment about Chinese government (China) either. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYblX1CtSZk )

  5. Weibo YES • Post your Status and mood • Post your photos and video • Participate in public topic or hot spot discussion • Share and Spread news or topics about sensitive information, mostly which against Chinese government • (http://interlocals.net/?q=node/380 ) YES YES NO!

  6. This is not the end! In fact, after the government had found out the promptness and live-time sharing of information over the platform, they starts to interfere its operation and set up strict regulations and limitations for using it.

  7. Keyword blocking • Information Deleting • Account Cancelation • IP Address Shielding/Baning • If you publish inciting information, you maybe located through the IP address and arrested after a day!

  8. Frank Hsieh Banned from Weibo after free speech post “not about the freedom to criticize powerful officials, but about whether you will lose this freedom after criticizing them.” Background: Hsieh is a Taiwanese politician of the Democratic Progressive Party in the Taiwan. http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/national/national-news/2013/02/21/370879/Frank-Hsieh.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Hsieh

  9. Hopeless? NO! Although freedom of speech in China still have a long way to go. But we new generations are making effort to make a change. I think Weibo will finally become a micro blog where people can share their opinions with no restrictions. And Chinese people can speak whatever they want, share whatever they have freely and limitless.

  10. The End! Thank you!
