Chinese Netizens with Mental Health Problems – Propaganda or Truth

Posted by Bill Belew on August 27th, 2007 in Asian News | No Comments

I wrote a post Nearly Three-fourths of Chinese Netizens Have Mental Problems.

A very popular commenter, Anonymous, asked me a question and I don't know the answer.

"Do you trust these results?"

S/he went on – "Not to submit to big brother paranoia, but arent these just the results that a communist government, which is hmental.problems.jpgaving difficulty controlling

its population online, would want released?"

I thought the question to be insightful and something, to be honest, I hadn't considered.

What do you think?

Is this big brother's way of trying to keep people off line? 

Call me gullible…easy…trusting.

Here at PAB, I cannot say what is and what isn't. I can, however, comment on what is said and hope to generate a discussion…and, gosh, even find out the truth sometimes. (Is it still possible to know the truth?)

Does Beijing want to discourage the use of the Internet? Is this small 'fact' part of a larger ploy?

Or, are Chinese netizens pretty much like the rest of the world that is absorbed in the Web and spends too much time in front of their PC monitors?

What do you think?

One thing for sure…not ALL Chinese are mindless.

Consider these two brothers.
