Southern Weekly #39;s Expos on Wang Lijun Snatched Off Shelves
An expos on Chongqing #39;s former police chief Wang Lijun has reportedly been pulled off the shelves. Observers say it #39;s another sign that Chinese leaders are still far from ready for scrutiny. This latest edition of the Southern Weekly features the man now behind bars. The Guangdong-based media conglomerate is known for its bold reporting that sometimes crosses China #39;s murky censorship lines. The edition came out on Monday, and was reportedly snatched up within hours. By that evening, booksellers said no more were available, and the edition has been recalled. [Zhu Jianguo, Shenzhen Author] "The public hoped this expos could be used to reflect on the country as a whole. But this is obviously what the regime wants, so it has to stop the story. This shows that even though some people are happy this might be another wave of reform, it #39;s probably just wishful thinking." In February, Wang Lijun inadvertently exposed one of the biggest political scandals for the Chinese regime, after he fled to a US consulate. The Southern Weekly focused on Wang #39;s complex relationship with ousted Party secretary of Chongqing, Bo Xilai. It also revealed how their infamous crime-fighting campaign frequently relied on brutal torture. The 8-article collection alleged Bo had ordered Wang to set up a massive surveillance and intelligence network in Chongqing, including using GPS technology to track individuals. It also said Wang was obsessed with his public image. [Guo Yongfeng, Shenzhen Author ...From:NTDonChinaViews:2 0ratingsTime:02:27More inNews Politics

Chinese Security Cracks Down on VPNs
China #39;s Internet surveillance means everyone in cyberspace is subject to monitoring, and what they can access on online is heavily filtered. Virtual private networks, or VPNs, have long been one of the few ways available to get around such controls. They allow web users to access sites banned in China, like Facebook and Twitter. Now, those services are being squeezed out. Foreign VPN providers like Astrill, WiTopia, and StrongVPN have recently announced that their servers are being blocked in China, apparently because of increased censorship measures. In response to the reports, state-run Global Times says the country #39;s "Great Firewall" system has not become stricter. Instead, it claims these foreign VPN providers are illegal to operate in China to begin with, because they have not registered there. According to Chinese law, only local companies, and foreign ones in joint-ventures with Chinese companies are allowed to register. VPN disruptions not only inconvenience web users, they also affect business operations. It #39;s common for multinational companies in China to use VPNs for cross-border online communications.

Abducted Taiwanese Testifies at US Congress on Persecution of Falun Gong
The US Congressional Executive Commission on China held a hearing on December 18 on the persecution of Falun Gong, a meditation practice in China. Present at the hearing was Chung Ting-pang, a Taiwanese citizen illegally arrested and detained by Chinese authorities in June when he visited his family in the mainland. [US Senator Sherrod Brown]: "Authorities claimed he threatened national security by trying to broadcast Falun Gong materials in China. But his real "crime" was trying to overcome China #39;s censorship and exercise his right -- a human right -- to free expression." Chung Ting-pang was eventually freed with the efforts of his family, the Taiwanese people and the international community. In his testimony Chung detailed the torture he was subject to while under a 24-hour surveillance and interrogation. The Chinese communist authorities forced him to confess fabricated charges. [Chung Ting-pang, Taiwanese Falun Gong Practitioner]: "I was forced to write and rewrite many times the statement, and I was videotaped again and again [pleading guilty]." Chung was grateful for the rescue efforts by US Congress members and stressed that the Chinese Communist Party has extended the persecution outside of China. Taking his case as an example, Chung believes that it #39;s important to let the world know of the crimes the regime has committed. [Chung Ting-pang, Taiwanese Falun Gong Practitioner]: "The most important thing is to let everybody know what they [Chinese Communist Party ...From:NTDonChinaViews:6 1ratingsTime:01:42More inNews Politics

More Chinese Netizens turn to Weibo than CCTV for News
More of China #39;s citizens say they trust information from online social media, than they do state-run media. This information came during the release of the 2013 Blue Book of China #39;s Society in Beijing this Tuesday (Dec. 18). The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences prepared the survey. The annual society Blue Book gives analysis and forecasts on Chinese society. In a survey of urban residents, 44% of those with an account on Weibo, China #39;s version of Twitter would turn to Weibo after an event or incident. That #39;s compared to the 38% who said they would learn about the event from the state-run nightly news. For those aged 30-years or younger, online information is their most trusted source, with newspapers coming in second. [Mr. Zhang, Guangdong Resident] "Weibo is a relatively open platform. Though its information may not always be true, people are able to express themselves there. But information on TV is only one directional. Weibo is two ways, and the discussion happens under the eyes of the whole society, so we have more trust in its accuracy." Chinese authorities strictly regulate the information that is spread through social media. But even with a strict censorship system, online information does get past internet police. That #39;s particularly true after protests and riots. Unofficial photos and videos are quickly circulated online, before an official report is released. Other survey results published by the Blue Book show that the urban population was most worried about ...From:NTDonChinaViews:5 0ratingsTime:01:44More inNews Politics

In today #39;s NTD China News, an expos on Wang Lijun published by the Southern Weekly magazine has been widely popular, with reports it #39;s now been recalled. Chung Ting-pang, a Taiwanese Falun Gong practitioner abducted in the mainland earlier this year has testified at a US congressional hearing in Washington DC. The government in Bijie city of Guizhou province sparked fresh outrage, after it posted signs on dumpsters warning people and animals not to enter. It comes after five local boys died in a dumpster in November, after they climbed in to keep warm. A Chinese trade delegation has pledged to curb software piracy by state-owned firms, after a two-day trade meeting with US officials. VPN service providers have reported that their servers are being blocked in China. State-run media says foreign providers are not legally allowed to operate without registration, denying the regime has stepped up internet censorship. More Chinese netizens say they trust information on Weibo, rather than state-run CCTV. It #39;s December 21st, 2012 in China. So far, all is well on the last day on the Mayan calendar.
