In the 21st century, people gradually acquired independent thinking through the development of society, gain of self-consciousness and use of computer. Changes emerge around us, and for almost everything we pursue, we could expect to find a match on the internet. While the government stops this from happening. When something takes place, the most valuable news are not allowed to be publicized. So what is news? In short, news should be the most desirable information about new things, new people, and new objects. This is basic common sense. While in China, they hide the truth and don't release the exact information. If there is freedom of speech, there should be corresponding rights. As individuals of the society, we should have the physical freedom and the rights to express our opinion, and let people know the truth of the society. So could the value of free speech be revealed, and allow people to learn more about the society.
In China, anything against the government's interest is inclined to be hidden and covered up from the people's eyes. The government is like an umbrella of protection. Government is always right, no one is allowed to oppose the government. If you protest against the government, you are looking for trouble. Thus everything just lost its original sense and the effect of news is gone. Then what is the purpose to promoted the news?
