China's Dodgy Plans

The Chinese government has really stepped up its actions and plans to censor internet gambling content much to the outrage of the rest of the world. The Chinese officials have stood strongly beside their right to strongly censor internet content from the Chinese citizens. The problem though lies in the fact that the Chinese government plans to censor far more than just the online casinos, but also information, news, and any anti-China sentiments. The Chinese government believes in keeping its citizens grossly uninformed about a whole range of political issues and blocks and filters out a range of foreign news portals so that the Chinese netizens are unable to access this “inappropriate” content. The online casino gambling industry is being used as a scapegoat for the planned censorship and filtering, but really that is just a small piece of what the officials will put on the blocked content list.

The foreign news and several prominent international companies have been incredibly critical over the planned firewall and Chinese officials have come into very public media clashes with Google. Google fundamentally opposes this level of censorship and has informed the Chinese officials that the search engine itself will block out search access to the online casinos and gambling sites. This was not remotely sufficient though for the Chinese officials and China still vows to seriously strengthen the firewalls and censored content to fully keep not only the online casino sites out of China, but also all of that negative news attention that has been brewing in international media.

The Chinese officials are really specifically attacking the online casino gambling industry because it’s an easy out for one. The government claims that the more than 400 million dollars leaving the country for foreign gambling operations is unacceptable and the country needs that money to stay within the Chinese economy. For this reason, the government will implement these controversial blocks unless the Chinese citizens can find a way to stop the planned firewalls.
