Русская версияThe International Olympic Committee has acknowledged it might have
been naive when it expected China to allow unfettered media access
to the Internet during the Beijing Games.
IOC president Jacques
Rogge said that under pressure, Chinese organizers had unblocked
some sites at the main press center and venues, but that others
remained censored for journalists covering the Summer Games. Rogge
denied an admission by Kevan Gosper, the IOC press chief, that some
Olympic officials had struck a deal with Chinese officials over
internet control. Beijing has since reportedly unblocked a number
of sites, including those of several international broadcasters,
and Amnesty International.
