Is the Internet killing Communism?
There was a fascinating story out of China last week related to that country’s hosting of the Olympics this summer. According to the story on AP, Chinese President Hu Jintao has asked his party to step up the propaganda machine.
Officials should “perform well the task of outward propaganda, further exhibit and raise up the nation’s good image,” Hu said.
But the part of the article I found interesting was about how the Chinese government is worried that they will not be able to get their message across to young people…because of the Internet!
Yet they also registered concern that those efforts were losing their edge in the face of social change, especially among young people now turning to the Internet and other independent sources of information and entertainment.
It just goes to show you that information is power and that despite attempts to control it people will always find a way to the truth. The Internet is power.
