China's Relationship with Foreign Media Sites

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

China is blocking foreign media websites again. We hear why protectionism - as well as censorship - may be playing a part. We have the latest on the relief effort in the Philippines. Also, reports say the much anticipated rule to stop US banks from gambling could be delayed. And, does giving praise give benefit to its recipient - or merely give everybody else the hump? Plus discussion from our guests Barbara Demick, the Beijing bureau chief of the Los Angeles Times and Adam Werbach, the founder of the sharing website, Yerdle.
