China’s conservatives usher in more restrictive media environment – James F. Paradise

From Asia Media (link):

Media liberalization in China suffered a setback in 2005. This is a recurring theme in the 2006 China Media Yearbook & Directory, a publication by China Media Monitor Intelligence that provides a wealth of information on the Chinese media industry. In regard to the print media sector, the publication states: “Hopes that the ‘fourth generation’ of Chinese leadership under Hu Jintao would allow greater freedom of the press in China have been largely disappointed. While significant steps have been taken to open up the sector to foreign capital, efforts to control content have been redoubled.”

Others have reached similar conclusions.
