China was not alone in its surgical approach to censoring President Obama's inaugural speech. Burmese authorities made several cuts to U.S. President Barack Obama's inauguration speech, in particular the sections dealing with authoritarian regimes.
One section of the speech which ran, "To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist," was cut. The same words were cut by censors in China.
