China has said that while several websites will be accessible during the Olympics, admission to some sites will not, Reuters reports.
It is not clear which sites will be shut or screened during the games,
Reuters reports and quotes the country’s technology Minister as saying
that “We will guarantee as much as possible. Every country limits
access to some websites, even developed countries.” But, the United
States have again spoken about concerns regarding Internet controls in
China, saying that they hope that people in China, full time residents
or visitors, would be able to have access to all forms of information
that are out there.
Meanwhile, Olympic organisers in Beijing have pledged that the media would have complete autonomy in reporting over the event.
