Fox: Chinese citizens, it is clear that privacy rights

enjoy little legal protections. Yet, as attitudes toward

privacy continue to change, the law will eventually be

strengthened.

One Professor thinks that earlier attitudes toward

privacy shaped largely by traditional living arrangements 【S1】______

whereby families of several generations often lived together

in small homes. He notes that the every living space for 【S2】______

urban Chinese had risen from 3.6 square meter in 1978 to 【S3】______

11.4 square meters by 2003, and says this increase has played

important role in fostering expectations of privacy within 【S4】______

the family, especially among the younger generation.

Parents in the past may readily enter a child's room, or read a 【S5】______

child's letters, without asking, and today are likely to incur 【S6】______

the wrath (愤努) of their privacy-conscious children if they

do. A number of academics are going so long as to call 【S7】______

openly for stronger privacy laws.

In the public sphere, it is usually technology, than nosy

parents, that attracts complaints. Though it still lags behind

Britain, which leads the world with its 4.2m surveillance

cameras, but China is installing them at a steady clip. 【S8】______

Shanghai alone has 200,000, and plans to double that number

within five years. The city of Guangzhou has budget $26m 【S9】______

to install security and traffic-monitoring cameras on all its

main streets. Perhaps most high-tech of all is Beijing, where

road cameras, equipped with night-vision capabilities, are

paired with radar guns and can snap the number plates of

speeding motorists at any time of day and night. 【S10】______
