On Monday February twenty fifth 2013 the China blocked the shortwave broadcast in english that was coming from BBC News. This not the first time China has tried to limit the information that was coming into the country from the outside world.
BBC News quoted their director of global news Peter Horrocks
"The BBC strongly condemns this action which is designed to disrupt audience's free access to news and information."
BBC News are on of the leaders in world information. China is doing an injustice to their people by with holding information form their people.
According to ABC News:
"The jamming of broadcasts in China is being timed to cause maximum disruption." "In the past jamming frequencies was also a tactic used by communist nations to block BBC broadcasts during the Cold War."
For China to start using old tactics to keep outside information from reaching the citizens really shows the extant that they are will to go control the media within the country. The out sourced information is only to benefit the people of China not put down the Chinese government.
