\n<\/a><\/p>\n

In China, several political bodies are in charge of Internet content control. At the highest level, there is the Central Propaganda Department, which ensures that media and cultural content follows the official line as mandated by the CCP. Then there is the State Council Information Office (SCIO), which has established \u201cInternet Affairs Bureau\u201d to oversee all Websites that publish news, including the official sites of news organizations as well as independent sites that post news content.<\/p>\n

This \u201cInternet Affairs Bureau,\u201d sent out very specific instructions to all large news websites daily, and often multiple times per day. Those instructions do not always mean that related contents are completely banned online, but they instruct websites to highlight or suppress certain type of opinions or information in a very detailed manner.<\/p>\n

Chinese journalists and bloggers often refer to those instructions, as well as other type of censorship orders to media and websites, as “Directives from the Ministry of Truth<\/a>.” The Ministry of Truth (or Minitrue, in Newspeak) is one of the four ministries that govern Oceania in George Orwell\u2019s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. In the Chinese blogosphere, it is the online lingo for the Central Propaganda Department and generally speaking, all other subordinate propaganda agencies including Internet supervision departments.<\/p>\n

Today, it\u2019s been said that news does not break, it tweets. For the officials in the the Ministry of Truth,<\/a> the news is that their supposedly confidential instructions get tweeted as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
