Twitter problem

This will never happen in America because the United State is the land of the freedom, which means they have right to say whatever they want. However, Chinese do not have that right. And like Facebook, China blocked the twitter, so people cannot have freedom of speech, but this woman is imprisoned for re-twitting. 

A Chinese woman was sentenced to one year in a labor camp on Wednesday after she forwarded a satirical microblog message that urged recipients to attack the Japanese Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo, human rights groups said Thursday. The woman, Cheng Jianping, 46, was accused of “disturbing social order” for resending a Twitter message from her fiancé that mocked young nationalists who held anti-Japanese rallies in several cities last month. The original message sarcastically goaded protesters to go beyond the smashing of Japanese products and express their fury at the heavily policed expo site.

She used the twitter by burrowing beneath the government's firewall and I do not understand why she had to use twitter so badly. I think imprisoning her for a year for twitting is kind of harsh, but she needs some punishment because she disobeyed the law.
