Hu: Hostile forces seek to westernize, split China - Yahoo! News
President Hu: "China is facing a difficult ideological struggle."
The Chinese President is fighting the urge from internal international forces to "westernize" and divide China. I'm assuming most of those international forces are theyre own citizens wanting more "western freedom"...
President Hu did not identify who those international forces were..Chinese officials are already under pressure from the public for corruption and income equality...(sound familiar?) They are now feeling more empowered to criticize the government by social media (freedom feels good huh?)
To combat this public urge to "westernize" they will begin taking even more control over the public. They will begin creating propaganda (I mean movies) promoting Chinese culture and the Communist Party's legitimacy. They will restrict reality TV (no jersey shore?) and begin policing the internet even more to prevent Chinese political activists from launching protests.
China fears the rapidly growing social networks...
(people must not talk to each other, they might get new ideas.)
