China has been criticized a lot about limiting the rights to international news. It was more than true and still things have not been changed a lot. After banning international news channels, Chinese government was feeling relaxed about its grip our people mind and especially media that can criticize any act of government and in the response of that criticism people can be violent against their government. Government could have been right in his actions but still its basic right of every citizen to do anything that he want but within the permissions of his rulers.

New problem for government arose with the introduction of internet in china as international news were easily available on many websites and people of china have direct access to these sites. It came up as a difficulty for Chinese government and the ruling communist party made strict guidelines in the name of crusade against explicit content. Many sites including Google were restricted from several services by naming them as unlawful as per Chinese laws. These sites have been asked to ensure that no vulgarity or pornographic content will be included in their sites or even in their search results.

Same rule was also applied for Chinese originated websites like Baidu, the biggest search engine of china. Baidu covers almost 80% of Chinese search engine market and Google even though following strict laws is still far behind. Chinese government encourages public to nominate any site or any discussion post that contradicts with government policies. This is why, even Baidu got into a scandal of showing some unlicensed medical sites in its search results. This search engine scandal put Baidu a little bit on back side but Baidu CEO Robin Lee took some necessary and timely measures by dismissing the staff involved in this illegal advertisements and Baidu succeeded in gaining its respect back.

Though Chinese government realized the social and economic aspect of internet but still lot has to do in order to control the controversy blame of cutting their own cake.
