Gary Wang at the Toodou offices

internet - Toodou makes it into Business Week

Toodou-founder Gary Wang was interviewed by Business Week. A nice quote:

How heavily are you regulated?
It's very difficult to regulate these kinds of things, just as 10 years ago it was very difficult to regulate text on the Internet. In general, the government is becoming more open-minded and tolerant.

For example, a TV reporter in Hunan did a story for his local station about a middle-aged woman who adopted 20 homeless kids in a poor county, but his boss wouldn't run the story. So the reporter put it on Toodou. Then a producer in Shanghai saw it, got in touch with the reporter, and sent a team to Hunan to do detailed reporting. The broadcast was extremely popular. It shows that censorship is relative to the authorities involved.
