media - The monthly ban


The ministry of culture has issued a ban against slightly pornographic games, notes Danwei. In total about six games have been banned for upsetting some of China's most-upset officials.
The rather hapless ministry bans something on average once a month, issues a press release that is taken up by the Chinese media to illustrate how caring their government is, although it is unlikely that more action has been taken than issuing the press release.
Western media will report tomorrow then that an evil government is cracking down on the freedom of speech. All become a routine.
