The Chinese laws forbid anyone to spread illegal information, such as preaching an evil cult like the Falungong, or do anything that harms national interests through the Internet.
Like what Sun Weide, the spokesman, said, the channel is smooth for foreign journalists in Beijing to report the Games and report China using the Internet.
Ju-Nie Shen Muller, sports editor of the World Journal, the largest Chinese language newspaper in North America, said that she found the Olympic Internet service "speedy and stable."
"My articles can be sent back to editing office very smoothly, and I can go every website I must go, to find the information I need in my reporting from the Internet," she said.
China now has the world largest Internet using population with as many as 253 million netizens. Surfing the Internet has become an important part of the Chinese people's daily life. All facts prove that China's laws and regulations on Internet regulation fit its national conditions.
Thanks to the reform and opening-up drive, China has achieved tremendous progress not only in economic development, but also in legal system construction.
Earlier, some overseas media alleged that the Beijing Olympic Village banned the use of Bible. However, anyone who has common sense about the Chinese laws shall know that in China the freedom of religious belief is protected by law, and therefore it is both illegal and impossible for this so-called "ban" to exist.
Similarly, anyone who has some knowledge abut the Chinese laws will understand China's stand on the evil cults.
As the countdown to the Beijing Games enters the final days, China as the host country has come under the international spotlight. In fact, the country is trying its best to fulfill its promises to both the International Olympic Committee and the international community. However, the seriousness of the law shall by no means be allowed to be undermined by anyone on any excuses.
