China Blocks YouTube Over Tibet Videos

China blocked access to YouTube.com on Sunday after dozens of videos of recent protests in Tibet appeared on the popular U.S. video Web site.

The blocking added to the communist government’s efforts to control what the public saw and heard about protests that erupted Friday in the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, against Chinese rule.

It seems that China believe that the only way in which Chinese people gain information is via YouTube. However, this is not true as they are able to watch the news on TV and read about it in newspapers and magazines. One could say that it’s unfair that YouTube has been blocked because in a way they’ve done nothing wrong.
