China again in the limelight The Chinese government has become blocking use of the iTunes Store consequently of pro-Tibetan information, creates the Sydney Morning Herald. The regimen recently found that Olympic athletes have now been installing a record called Songs for Tibet, with monitors by musicians like Sting, Moby and Suzanne Vega. During support of "peace-related projects" linked to the Dalai Lama, the recording can also be an application of protest against China's 1950 invasion of Tibet, and its ongoing reduction of political and religious liberties. The recording was deliberately launched on iTunes August fifth, three times before the start of the Beijing Olympics, and the compliation's backer -- The Art of Peace Foundation -- has provided free copies to competitive players, in the hope they'll present support. The Chinese government's blocking of iTunes seems to have started on Monday, when an American firm called Campaign for Tibet stated that "over 40 Olympic athletes in The United States, Europe and also Beijing" had saved Songs for Tibet. China's regimen keeps rigid controls on Access to the internet, and presently blocks over 18,000 sites. Different websites, while available within the nation, might be strained to get rid of references to such things as the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989.
