Re: Don't Censor China, David Purdy, May 27

My name is Marvin Ye, I came from China about one year ago. Now I am a software analyst working for Alcatel Canada.

As an independent immigrant, I leave my home country China to Canada to pursue freedom and justice, to escape the pain of being brainwashed by those Chinese TV services, and I hope my future kids are free from those disgusting propaganda of communist regime. I was thrown into a labour camp in 2001 for 18 months by Chinese police just because I practise Falun Gong.

In the labour camp, I was forced to watch brainwash program and lies story about Falun Gong produced by CCTV and other eight channels. In China I had no choice to refuse to watch it, and I had no right to watching what I want such as New Tang Dyansty TV, VOA, BBC, CNN or any other TV network from Canada, U.S. or other free society.

Is it true as what vice-president of Rogers said, "It's all about customer choice,"?

No. People in China have no choice and they are enforced to accept those nine channels and forbidden to have access to TV channels they want. But for Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the answer is Yes. Rogers is giving CCP easy way to invade Canada to continue their crime to output their dirty ideology and corrupt Canadian values under a mask called "culture."

This is totally unfair and unbalanced, CCP's culture invasion. Rogers' support to those nine channels is highly similar with the behavior of Google company to block information to please CCP for Chinese market. What Google has done is helping CCP to block truth information to input into China. What Rogers is doing will help CCP to output its propaganda and garbage party-culture. Now, Google is under accusation from congress of U.S. and criticized by all over the world. Is Rogers willing to be the next?

I really hope that CRTC can make a decision to protect Canadian values polluted by those nine channels controlled by CCP.
