KQED’s Forum program is interviewing CDT’s Xiao Qiang and Sophie Richardson from Human Rights Watch about the ongoing Party Congress:
This week, Chinese leaders are converging on Beijing for the Communist Party congress, held every five years. We look at the government’s ongoing efforts to control information as internet access expands and as the population gets more affluent and educated. Guests include Xiao Qiang, director of the Berkeley China Internet Project and professor of journalism at UC Berkeley; and Sophie Richardson, deputy director of the Asia Program at Human Rights Watch.

The program can be heard live or will be archived online later today.
