China, long a closed society, is about get more closed.
Before the wailing and gnashing of teeth begins, let us explore how, and why it is not China's fault. According to the BBC (that bastion of Right wing Conspiracy):
China says it will introduce new measures barring journalists from reporting if they are found to have made up stories or taken bribes.
SO by applying some ethical standards to news reporting in that country (and I am sure to keep it under control), ABC (Talking Point Forgery), CBS (Rathergate), the NY Times (Jason Blair) and the Washington Post (the Crack kid series) are going to get booted if China goes through with what even the USA cannot fault as a bad policy.
Maybe China just wants to read the truth every once in awhile Come to think of it, so would we.
