Edit Proposal

Hello Wikipedians! I am a student at Rice University, and I am thinking about editing this article as part of my class (Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities). I am currently interested in learning about political repression in China and adding what I learn into Wikipedia articles, and I thought that this article on censorship is very relevant. I would like to contribute to this page by adding information regarding how the government censors information online, what citizens have been doing to get around censorship measures, and other forms of political activism that the government has attempted to censor in the past. I have already been doing some reading, and a list of relevant resources are on my user page if you are interested! Please let me know if you have any suggestions about the direction I should take this! RiceStudent (talk) 12:39, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

==Proposed Changed--

Hello Wikipedians! I have now thought concretely about the changes that I would like to make to the page. I will move the information that is currently under 3. During the Cultural Revolution to the front of the article, as part of the history of censorship section. I am adding this section to provide a background of how censorship in China has evolved from ancient times to during the Cultural Revolution to now and how traditional cultural ideology such as Confucianism plays into the acceptance of censorship in China. I will also propose to add several subsections. These subsections will be:

                             1
                             History of censorship in China
                             1.1 
                             Ancient China
                             1.2 
                             During the Cultural Revolution
                       
                             2.2.1 
                             Independence movements
                             2.2.2
                             Government propaganda
                             2.2.3
                             Political activism
                             2.2.4
                             Social justice activism
                             4.3
                             Circumventing Internet censorship
                             4.4 
                             International Responses

Please let me know what you think about my proposed changes! RiceStudent (talk) 02:41, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Include the banning of Winnie the pooh in china?

How is the leader of chinas insecurity not mentioned in this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.206.243.19 (talk) 14:27, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Recent incidents of censorship in China

Recently, several things have been banned in mainland China, including:

Winnie the Pooh
PewDiePie
South Park
DJ Zedd

Now seems like a ripe time to cover these incidents. The true question is... who will do it? RayDeeUx (talk) 02:08, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Informal and "charged" language tone and usage.

As I was looking over this article, something that particularly bugged me about it was the manner of in which the article "read" so to speak. It struck me as noticeably informal, and it read like an opinion paper in the times. Also, given the sensitive nature of this topic, I am surprised that it hasn't been locked to semi-protected. Furthermore, I feel that there should be a redirect somewhere in the page to List of websites blocked in mainland China for multiple reasons, including "with the intent to avoid confusion" and for "general usefulness in aiding the navigability of Wikipedia".(talk) 05:55, 18 November 2021 (UTC)2601:647:5a00:b420:3d14:5afa:1a10:1eb7[reply]
