China: the letter of 23 party elders calls for freedom of speech.

The letter says freedom of expression is promised in the Chinese constitution but not allowed in practice. They want people to be able to freely express themselves on the internet and want more respect for journalists.
I can imagine how the Chinese junta feels about this. Not that I want to give them any ideas, but:

Not yet. But soon...
