In Beijing, the Chinese government decides to enforce new censorship rules on online video sharing for state companies. However, private companies make exception to the rules. Effective January 2008 --not surprisingly before the Beijing 2008 Olympics--, the announcement for these rules was made only four weeks before they are affective. Censorship comes certainly from the threat online video sharing represents for traditional media like TV. In fact, China represents a huge number of internet users and people resort more and more to watching their videos on the net.
