Not just China. Saudi Arabia, Iran, North Korea and others around the world do this on a regular basis. East Germany used to do the same thing. They do or did not want their population to know what is going on around them. Its not really working but is a start. People have ways around things like this with hidden satellite and radio systems.

It is still really hard to get an accurate read on American policy and philosophy, if you are a foreigner, given the American media with the widest reach is dominated by leftists who agree with the leadership of the UN and philosophically socialist regimes worldwide...These American leftist publications--like CNN, CBS, NBC, NYTimes, NPR, AP--not only formulate American perception but have a near monopolistic control over foreign impressions of America...The American media giants, given their dispositions that oft favor worldwide leftist thought, manufacture their reports to reflect how they would like the world to see us.
American media is guilty of selective reporting, at least on a percentage basis...For example since Katrina the NYSlimes has had 56 negative reports on Bush's handling of Katrina...What is the world's media going to glom onto?...Of course they will have the tendency, coerced or voluntary, to cover what suits either their or their governments interest...Quite frequently anti-American.
