"China is not afraid of the Internet," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang on Tuesday.

Bullshit! :D

"The exiled government released footage last week that it said showed Chinese police beating Tibetan protesters last March in or near Lhasa. One video showed a young Tibetan, identified as Tendar, being abused by security forces after trying to stop police beating a monk, according to a statement (http://www.tibet.net/en/index.php?id=759&articletype=flash&rmenuid=morenews). He died from his injuries in June last year, it said.

Chinese authorities yesterday accused the exiled government of fabricating the video. Tendar was actually a rioter who slashed a policeman with a knife and died from a disease at home while awaiting trial, Xinhua reported, citing an unidentified Chinese government official in Tibet.

The video was edited to piece together different places, times and people, Xinhua cited the official as saying. "

"The blockage comes as government officials in China labelled as "fake" a video posted on Youtube allegedly showing police beating a Tibetan demonstrator to death. The official Xinhua news agency, citing an unidentified official with China's Tibetan regional government, said that the video came from sources tied to the government-in-exile of the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader, and was pieced together from different places.

'Faked'
Xinhua said the footage claimed to show an incident during last year's violent protests in Tibet against Chinese rule, but that the situation had been fake

"The Dalai Lama group is used to fabricating lies to deceive the international community and the aim of this video is to hide the truth of the March 14th riot," Xinhua quoted the official as saying.

Footage of Chinese troops apparently beating Tibetans during last years protests in and near the capital Lhasa has appeared on Youtube in recent days.
However, the source, date and location of the footage, posted by a Tibetan exile group, could not be independently confirmed.

One video shows uniformed Chinese soldiers running through a Tibetan monastery, some of them beating a man with batons.

In another scene, soldiers kick, drag and beat several men and women who are lying on the ground, some of them with their hands bound behind their backs.
Last year's protests were the biggest display of anger at Chinese rule in many years.

In an effort to prevent a repeat of the unrest this year China deployed a massive security crackdown in Tibet and Tibetan areas, putting hundreds of police on streets and barring foreigners from the region."

I hear Singapore users are having the same issues after criticisms of their government. Singapore users claim this marks the first time that a non-pornographic site is censored.

It is no secret that Google, Yahoo, Cisco and others help suppress information on the internet for China. Huge numbers of people in China do not know what the Tiananmen Square incident was because it is blocked from people. China's government is known for limiting information to its people by suppressing people in the form of killings, threats, and monitorization.

*EDIT*
In fact companies were brought in front of congress years ago to discuss their practices in China.

That's because they would be blocked in China if they didn't censor. :rolleyes:
