"Unafraid" China apparently fears YouTube"

The article is about blocking You Tube by the Chinese government.

China is definitely a country with a government which is controlling every aspect of its people’s lives. And then there is the Web that is being controlled too. I think It’s sad that some people in the world are unable to access a particular website, like YouTube, just because someone said that you can’t. Well, the Communist Party in China has everything in their hands and they determine the rules. Even though Foreign Minister spokesman Qin Gandg said that “Many people have a false impression that the Chinese government fears the Internet. In fact it is just the opposite,” from my point of view this statement may be untrue. This is not the first time when blocking a site happened; moreover, sites were being closed due to “inappropriate” content, meaning that someone expressed his opinion (probably negative about the government). Finally I truly believe that the Web is a means of opening people’s eyes to the problems around and that is why the Chinese government is so afraid of (because he may loose absolute control over its people.)
