WE Blog wouldn’t fly in China

As blogging enters the world’s most populous country, the Internet Society of China has recommended to the government that people use their real names when they register blogs. The current blog system does allow Internet chatter not permitted under the traditional state-run media. The proposal would require bloggers to register their real names, but they would still be allowed to write under a pseudonym.
The society reported that bloggers anonymously spreading false information had brought a negative influence.

    This is the country that we run the largest trade deficit with in the world.

    Meanwhile, the less communist country of Cuba can’t even sell its cigars here.

    If Cubans would only lobby WalMart to put in some sweatshops, they too could enjoy the economic serfdom of the Chinese.

    I run a trade deficit with my barber, my grocer, my mechanic and on and on. They have never bought anything from me. So what?

    I’m just going to say that I’m not going to give out my real name for fear that the author would probably come after me.

    Give leftist the government of the USA under their power and you will see this WE Blog close shop really quick.

    Unless you decided to be a propaganda arm of their power dominating agenda.
