China allows bloggers, others to spread quake news

In this May 14, 2008 file photo, a man waits for his mobile phone to charge after a generator was brought to a temporary outdoor shelter in Dujiangyan, in China's southwest Sichuan province. Almost nonstop, the uncensored opinions of Chinese citizens are popping up online, sent by text and instant message across a country shaken by its worst earthquake in three decades. Unlike in previous crises, the Chinese government has let most information flow freely this week, surprising some outside experts. It may have little choice. China is now home to the world's largest number of Internet and mobile phone users. (AP Photo/Greg Baker, File)
