Centrum Stosunków Międzynarodowych - 25 July 2016: Chinese authorities have taken control of all the media

The Chinese authorities have forbidden the largest online companies to publish original news stories. About it writes Bloomberg, referring to the decision by China's Cyberspace Administration, about which local media reported. The biggest news services allowed to post on their websites publications that were previously printed, or published in the state-controlled media. Otherwise, authorities will apply penalties to the companies. Thus the Chinese authorities prohibit Internet companies to place "current news", meaning all publications related to politics, economics, and foreign and social problems. According to Bloomberg, the ban would lead to virtually complete control of the state in the Chinese media, which, as previously pointed out by Chinese President Xi Jinping, must serve the interests of the ruling Communist Party.
