Paris Conference Video Series: Julien Pain

Will Chinese authorities stop at controlling the Internet only within China? Will they go farther and try to interfere with websites outside China?

You bet, says Julien Pain, Director of France’s 24 TV’s Website, Observers. And his website is a great example of the Chinese authorities gargantuan appetite for content control.

At the Paris conference, through an interpreter, he also dealt with subjects such as:
--China is the world champion of Internet censorship.
--How the Chinese government control what foreign media cover in China.
--How come dozens of Chinese people from China learned perfect French all of a sudden to comment on the Chinese content of Observers?
--How is China exporting its Internet censorship?
