TV and Internet in Shanghai

There was a big Hair Television in our Hotel in Shanghai where we stayed.

I went and switched on, found 40 odd Chinese channels (more than 50% of them are news channels...) and BBC & CNN.

There were 2 to 3 english channels which telecast China Tourism details. The remaining channels were like Doordarshan (TV serials in Chinese...).

Almost all the Hotels provide Broad-band internet connection in Shanghai. But most of the websites are blocked like Googlepages ..etc. I heard that it was to stop the people to publish their opinion across Internet. Don't know how far it is true ..
