A Letter to the Editor

Nov. 15, 2008 Dear Editor,

I have been following with great interest the discussion inspired by the article “Do We Need Blog?” published in your newspaper of Nov. 12th. I’d like to voice my opinion about this issue.

As stated in this article, the blogsphere in China is experiencing unprecedented blog-to-blog arguments. Quite a number of bloggers become trapped in the difficulties striking a balance between writing what they want to and writing what may be too offensive to those who have access to their space.

Then, to blog or not to blog? This is a question for many people. However, no one can deny the fact that blog is definitely a useful means of free expression online. It has found an immediate welcome and enjoyed much popularity ever since its birth in that never before have ordinary people been allowed such vigorous and unstrained debate on certain issues. Therefore, to put an end to blogs may not be a way out.

What must be pointed out is that bloggers should have awareness

that online insults are as unforgivable as those in real life. So it is necessary that bloggers discipline themselves. Apart from people’s self-discipline, lawmakers are called on to establish laws to police online activities. On this way can we have a clean blogsphere and enjoy freedom of speech.

Yours sincerely

Li Ming
