The Party will remain a global leader in the crackdown on the media in 2020. On the first day of 2021, eight local newspapers in China, including Wuhan Morning Post, Benxi Evening News and Life Daily, announced that they were closed. There are mainland media people interpreting the reasons behind the foreign media.
In the latest report, citing data, hundreds of Chinese mainland have been suspended since 2009. The anonymous mainland media person on the media analysis of China’s local newspapers disappeared year by year, the news more and more centralized this phenomenon, one of the reasons is that “the Communist Party’s media itself is a monopoly”, is the Communist Party to strengthen public opinion control, unity of thought, authoritarian use.
The second reason is economic, “which is also the effect of the political dominoes.” Monopoly, this does not let say, that does not let say. It (the newspaper) has to survive, doesn’t it? Previously because they are public units, left hand into the right hand, advertising rebates, newspaper rebates, etc. , through corruption to maintain the industry, including news interviews when receiving sealing fees, in fact, belong to the news extortion, rely on these to maintain for so many years. “
The media person believes that the impact of the emergence of new media in recent years is also the reason why local newspapers continue to stop publishing, “the third is the impact of new media.” For example, with regard to the U.S. election, readers can see for the first time through the new media, who reads your newspaper the next day? This new media shock is a breakthrough, destroying the pathological media pattern directly. “
In the international community, the media because of the social, government has the power and responsibility to supervise, so there is no crown king. The media person pointed out that in the eyes of Communist Party officials, the Chinese media people are not so, “the Communist Party leadership will be the newspaper as a slave talent, the media are self-censorship, this can not be sent, that can not be sent.” You are already a slave, the leadership will be limited financial subsidies first to maintain stability, interception. “
“It’s like saying you’ve been a slave, and you haven’t even exchanged dog food.” Sad and hateful, isn’t it? Blame yourself! In recent years, there have been media reporters pulling banners to defend their rights to social security. I said that’s what it’s all about! You usually report false news yourself, the people’s livelihood matters do not call, catch, pick quarrels and trouble! Do you usually do the right thing for the common people? When ordinary people defend their rights, you report ‘picking quarrels and causing trouble’, feng shui turns around. “
Voice of America also reported exclusively on the Chinese Communist Party’s crackdown on the media the day before, pointing out that in particular, during the year of the global spread of the virus, the Chinese Communist Party not only ranked first in the world in the detention of journalists, but also censored and arrested people reporting on the outbreak; delayed the issuance of visas for foreign journalists, restricting Chinese citizens working in foreign media; and introduced Hong Kong’s National Security Law to detain prominent journalists and democracy activists.
At least 47 journalists in China will be jailed in 2020, more than any other country, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, a press freedom watchdog group.
