p2pnet news view Freedom | P2P:- Software such as Bill Xia’s Dynamic Web, written to penetrate China’s internet wall of silence, have largely rendered censorship ineffective.

Politically sensitive words monitored or censored by China search engine Baidu.com, as well as internal documents governing Baidu censorship operations, have been listed by New Tang Dynasty Television (NTDTV), a Chinese language TV broadcaster based in New York City, says the Epoch Times.

Censored are phrases such as ‘Chinese Communist Party,’  ‘withdrawing from the Communist Party’ and ‘disintegrating the Communist Party’ are also censored, as are ‘Nine Commentaries,’ ‘The Epoch Times,’ and ‘Gao Zhisheng,’ says the story, going on »»»

On May 4, NTDTV reported 13 categories of politically sensitive words, including those related to counterrevolutionary activities, human rights and appeals, the Tiananmen Square Massacre, Falun Gong, ethnic and race relations, military secrets, and organ harvesting.

Under the category of counterrevolutionary activities, censored phrases include end the rule of the Communist Party, dictatorship, one-party system, human rights in China, tyranny, ruling government, and brainwashing.

In the Falun Gong category, all words directly related to the practice are on the list. Words related to the Chinese regime’s persecution of the practice, such as kidney harvesting from live people are included.

There is a special category for words related to the sale of harvested organs. This category shows the Communist Party`s fear of the consequences of harvesting Falun Gong practitioners` organs while they are still alive.

But Epoch Times has Xia, who first reported Google’s efforts to help Chinese police authorities maintain an online censorship matrix, saying he believes despite the regime`s effort, it hasn’t been able to achieve its goals.

“Due to the large quantity of software like Dynamic Web on the Internet it is possible to circumvent the blockades,” says the story adding:

“Falun Gong practitioners living outside of China have also written software, such as the Golden Shield program, that can penetrate the regime’s Internet firewall. This allows Internet users in mainland China to break through the Communist Party`s Internet monitoring and see a free flow of information from the rest of the world.”
