Paris Conference Video Series: Richard Winfield

Why do authoritarian regimes behave as the Chinese government does? Why such a compulsive drive to censor anything that counters the official version of events?

Because it’s in their nature, warns World Press Freedom Committee Chairman Richard Winfield.

At the Paris Conference, Winfield also dealt with subjects such as:
--China considers the Internet as another tool to increase their power.
--This control hunger goes beyond China; they want to control the Internet worldwide.
--They want to have a “harmonious” Internet where all their censoring designs are respected internationally.>
