Summary:
This article is brings up "State Terrorism." The fact that from activities of many governments a state itself could be a terrorist. I find this to be very true. Violence upon a national population commited by national governements against civilian individuals and populations, as a means of political intimidation and control has become very popular in China. A state can terrorize its people by suppressing and controlling the information that is filtered to the public.
5) Next in Google Scholar i searched, Chinese government internet web filtering. Listed was an essay called" Internet Filtering in China"
The paper was written by Bambauer, Derek, Deibert, Ronald J., John G., Rohozinski, Rafal, Villeneuve, Nart and Zittrain, Jonathon

Summary:Chinese citizens seeking access to web sites containing content related to Taiwanese and Tibetan independence, the Dalai Llama, opposition polictical parties,or a variety of anti-communist movements will frequently find themselves blocked.
6) Lastly in searching for scholarly journals i decided to go to Santa Barbara Public Library online. I clicked on Infotrac to browse through articles and typed in China controls citizens internet content. I found an article labeled Google under fire over censorship policy.
The author is Will Cooper

Summary: Google's censorship came under question when a proposal was put forth to stop its ban of search results in repressive countries. Google and Yahoo have been filtering results seen as sensitive by the Chinese government since January 2006. There have even been instances when IP addresses were given of the people who were searching for particular "sensitive" material.
7) To search for newspaper articles i again went to the Santa Barbara Library's website. On the home page their was a link to search newspaper articles, after typing in my library card number, I was taken to General Reference Center Gold. I typed in Chinese oppressive internet blocking.

Summary: During the tumultuous olympic torch relay students had been channeling anger over anti-China protests. Public anger has also been directed at western news outlets which are blamed for one-sided coverage of the torch relay and also for anti chinese bias on their news of disturbances in Tibet.

Summary:
A photo that seems to show Chinese paramilitary forces carrying monks' robes provides conclusive evidence that the Chinese staged Tibet riots to justify a government crackdown.
9) Next I searched google for newspaper links, i was directed to newslink.com which has thousands of online newspaper articles. I then typed in Tibet and communist issues censored in China. A current article that came up was from the China Post titled "China lacks moral authority: Dalai Lama."

Summary: China deserves to be a superpower in most aspects however a major drawback is its lack of moral authority. There is too much censorship on religious freedom, freedom of expression and freedom of the press.

Summary: Modern Chinese and Tibetan sources generally assume that their public accept a particular conclusion, such as Tibet being an independent country prior to the Chinese military invasion. They tend to omit events that could potentially undermine the integrity of their respective historical views.
