Not suprised at all.

 

Not at all. About five years ago, I was on a business trip in Shanghai. I had the TV in my hotel room tuned to CNN Asian while I was reading over some files. All of a sudden, I heard the words "Taiwan" and "independence" coming from the tube. It was a story about some demonstration in Taiwan against the mainland government. I was shocked that the story was allowed to air. Just as I was thinking that maybe the government has relaxed the media rules, the screen went blank. On the late night rerun of the same program, the entire story was blacked out. I guess someone was a sleep at the switch for about 30 seconds the first time. Hope he didn't get into any trouble...
