China should improve press freedom

I personally don't know the real situation behind the report. But if it is true, then it is disturbing news. See: Isabelle Oderberg, "China's faltering free press", 14/10/2009, http://www.businessspectator.com.au/bs.nsf/Article/Chinas-faltering-free-press-pd20091014-WSRFU?OpenDocument&src=sph

China should increase press freedom to further reforms to make it the world's most powerful country.

Press freedom can make the country better, reduce corruptions and improve the governance and welfare of the nation. It will strengthen the rule of law.

It should be part of the constraints to some unruly behaviour by some powerful people.

It is consistent with a harmonious nation.China should encourage more press freedom but not reduce it.
