Ny lista över förbjudna ord i kinesisk media

Kina ligger på plats 176 av 180 nationer på Reportrar utan gränsers globala pressfrihetsindex. Media här har alltså större restriktioner än i de flesta andra länder, vilket bland annat visar sig genom de listor med förbjudna ord och termer som myndigheterna med jämna mellanrum utfärdar.

Dessa listor ger även en fingervisning om vilka ämnen som för stunden är extra känsliga i Kina, eller särskilt viktiga för de kinesiska myndigheterna.

Eftersom Kina på senare år trappat upp sina territoriella ambitioner, är det knappast lustigt att en ny sådan lista från Kinas statliga nyhetsbyrå Xinhua som läckte ut tidigare i år domineras av kategorin ”Hongkong, Macao, territorium och självständighet”.

Av 102 förbjudna termer utgörs punkt 32-89 av denna kategori. Det handlar bland annat om att universitet och institutioner i Taiwan inte får benämnas som ”nationella”, eller att idrottare som representerar Hongkong måste kallas kineser.

Listan, som tidigare i veckan översattes till engelska av SupChina, visar den extrema petigheten i den för Kina så explosiva frågan om territoriell integritet. Läs nedan om vad landets reportrar nu inte får skriva med risk för att förlora sina jobb eller värre:
