New version of Reporters Without Borders Chinese-language website goes online

Reporters Without Borders is today launching a new version of its Chinese-language website www.rsf-chinese.org in order to provide better information to Chinese-speakers. Access to the site was blocked inside China soon after its launch in 2005 but it has been getting tens of thousands of readers each year. The new version of the site has our press releases and reports about current press freedom issues, especially those that concern China, lots of information about the 2010 Nobel peace laureate, Liu Xiaobo, a frequently updated press review, photos that have not been published elsewhere, surprising interviews, and petitions for the release of journalists, bloggers and free speech defenders who are in prison in China. You can also follow the activities of Reporters Without Borders on this Chinese-language Twitter account: http://twitter.com/rsfasia2 The Reporters Without Borders Chinese-language website can be accessed from within China by using proxies or VPNs.
