Government Crack Down on Dissidents

Sorry Dixie Chicks, it’s not here in the United States … although you are happy to believe that it is happening to you.

Nope. This is in the Communist utopia of China. Boy, left wing ideologies sure are great huh?

THE former editor-in-chief of a Chinese Website has been given a six-year prison term for subversion, the Ningbo Intermediate People’s Court in east China’s Zhejiang Province said.

The court ruled yesterday that Zhang Jianhong, former editor-in-chief of a Website named “Aiqinhai,” or “Aegean Sea,” had written articles which defamed the Chinese government and amounted to agitation aimed at toppling the government.

After his Website was shut down and he was punished for illegal practices, Zhang had published more than 110 articles under the pseudonym “Lihong” on overseas Websites from May to September 2006, the court said.
