With all the world focusing on the Olympics, it’s easy to forget that China is actually one of the few countries that censor the Internet. It’s not easy to blog or share what you think about the government in China, and I am sure if you been paying attention to the Olympics, you have seen the glimpses of protests that are going around the country. But Chinese protesters who can’t get their words out easily inside China are now using Web 2.0 services such as Twitter to express their concern about the conditions inside China.

I am sure the government of China could get tougher with these folks, but the power of Web 2.0 transcends anything that the Chinese government can bring upon the people of China. No matter how hard you try to put a good face in front of the world, if you are not honest with the world, the word will get out. Olympics or not.
