The Chinese government has drawn a lot of criticisms over the past few weeks from international communities especially from journalists covering stories in Beijing. Politically and socially sensitive sites are blocked. Reporters are not able to film sensitive areas like Tiananmen Square where a masacre took place a couple of decades ago, killing many students. These are violations of the Olympic rules. In fact, China promised unrestricted reporting when it bid for the host of the games.


Are there any mistakes?

The Chinese government has drawn a lot of criticism from the international community over the past weeks, primarily from Western journalists covering the Olympics in Beijing. Socially and politically sensitive websites have been blocked; Reporters are unable to access areas like Tiananmen Square, the site of a decades-old massacre which claimed the lives of several students. Despite Beijing's promise to allow unrestricted reporting during the Olympic games, the communist regime continues to violate the terms they agreed to uphold.

Hi anti, I love your changes. I do see why you made several changes but others are entirely different from the words I chose, for example, the last sentence. Why did you change it entirely? Isn't a matter of preference or my version is simply wrong? It helps to understand why changes are made so I won't repeat the same mistakes. I believe it's a tough question to answer sometimes.

No, you are absolutely right N2G. The last two sentences you wrote are fine. It ultimately relies upon personal choice and an individual's vocabulary. That's the most exciting part I suppose... When language is used in an artistic way like a painter using different colored paints.
