Chinese commies continue losing their battle against reality.

From the AP, to yahoo! News, to Drudge. (Tinkers, to Evers, to Chance it ain't.)

All you really have to know is if you lived in Slave China, chances are excellent you wouldnot be able to read this, much less type it.


Authorities have ordered all China-based Web sites and blogs to register or be closed down, in the latest effort by the communist government to police the world of cyberspace.

Commercial publishers and advertisers can face fines of up to 1 million yuan ($120,000) for failing to register, according to documents posted on the Web site of the Ministry of Information Industry.

Private, noncommercial bloggers or Web sites must register the complete identity of the person responsible for the site, it said. The ministry, which has set a June 30 deadline for compliance, said 74 percent of all sites had already registered.

"The Internet has profited many people but it also has brought many problems, such as sex, violence and feudal superstitions and other harmful information that has seriously poisoned people's spirits," the MII Web site said in explaining the rules, which were quietly introduced in March.

Sex and violence, yeah I get those. Bad stuff. Gotta stop 'em. But I suspect "feudal superstitions" is obscurantist for the Bill of Rights.
