Dai Jianyong, a street photographer best known for making what he calls a “chrysanthemum face“—the flower is a slang term in Chinese for anus—was detained on criminal charges today, according to the advocacy group Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD). Dai had posted photos online of t-shirts, suitcases, and coke cans decorated with a photoshopped image of Xi with a mustache, making a similar face. Although the mustache is not an explicit visual reference to the German dictator, online commentators observed that Xi resembled Adolf Hitler. (Some Chinese activists critical of the leader’s more draconian measures against dissidents have taken to calling him Xitele, a Chinese translation for Hitler that uses Xi’s surname.)

" If convicted each faces a maximum of five years in prison. The five women – Wei Tingting, Wang Man, Li Tingting, Zheng Churan and Wu Rongrong – are members of China’s Women’s Rights Action Group.

" and planned to distribute them at International Women’s Day events. Two million 'internet opinion analysts' employed to monitor China's vast online population. Some two million people are employed by the Chinese government at all levels, as well as businesses, to monitor public opinion on Chinese social media, according to a report in Thursday’s Beijing News.
By trawling through blogs, microblog posts and social networks, these "Internet opinion analysts," most of them government employees, dissect public opinion on local issues and try to identify accusations of corruption and poor governance. They keep local leadership, from county to province, informed on a daily basis via text messages and written reports. The Beijing-based newspaper took advantage of a seminar for these monitors, held in the capital in mid-October by the People’s Daily Online Public Opinion Monitoring Centre, a think tank-like unit of the Communist Party’s official mouthpiece, to meet these usually anonymous local government staffers known as “online public opinion analysts”.
They use taxpayers’ money to suppress taxpayers’ voices. Tiananmen, il y a 25 ans: comment Pékin veut l'effacer des mémoires. La Chine lève la censure de Facebook et Twitter sur 28km² à Shanghai.

China Gives Internet Celebrities a Guide for Self-Censorship. A group of Internet celebrities in China have endorsed a government guideline for self-censorship on a variety of topics such as law, socialism, the state, the public's legal rights, and morality, according to state-controlled media outlet the People Daily.
But did they really? Some are arguing their endorsement was invented as political propaganda. The Internet celebrities were part of a group invited to attend a forum on Internet Celebrities’ Social Responsibility [zh] organized by the State Internet Information Office (IIO) and held at the China Central Television on August 10, 2013. There, they exchanged views with the head of IIO, Lu Wei, who presented the seven-point guideline. Pan Shiyi said in the forum that all netizens are and should be treated as active individuals. As social media becomes more and more popular, online public opinion leaders are becoming very influential. The set of principles has received quite some welcome in the past two days, yet others questioned it.

L’ex-photographe du New York Times devenu aujourd’hui réalisateur a donc lui aussi rencontré plusieurs des ex-détenues de ce camps de rééducation par le travail du nord-est du pays. Le premier récit des horreurs du camps a pu être diffusé à Hong-Kong. Il est en revanche censuré en Chine continentale. Du Bin poursuivait le montage des autres interviews réalisées avec les femmes de Masanjia lorsqu'il a été arrêté. Il était suivi et filmé par les agents de la sécurité publique lors de ses déplacements à Pékin. Facebook blocked in North Korea, Iran, Cuba and 'another country,' says state media. If you have blocked Facebook, then at least have the guts to admit it.
Apparently this doesn’t work for China’s censors, who, of course, have also said on numerous occasions that there is no internet censorship in China. This might explain why in a recent article published on a website run by the country’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technolgoy, readers are given an ambiguous, yet amusing account of the status of Facebook in the country.

Despite insisting that he’s no activist and is just keen on debating with his 33.4 million followers on Sina Weibo, entrepreneur and former Google China country manager, Kaifu Lee, finds his Weibo posts get censored and deleted quite a lot.

Kaifu Lee explains: Here’s the graph he made: Sky News reporter detained on live TV by Chinese police - Video Dailymotion - Pale Moon.

Yesterday I saw myself misquoted by Xinhua, China's official news agency: On the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, China, as the host of the Six-Party Talks, has functioned as more than just a coordinator. Linda Jacobson, East Asia program director at the Lowy Institute for International Policy in Australia, said China had played a responsible part both in facilitating talks and in solving emergencies, which was conducive to regional security.
I have not spoken with anyone from Xinhua for exactly one year.

A long list of banned keywords on Sina Weibo’s search function has been uncovered and tested by the CDT team yesterday. All the listed phrases stick to one simple rule: a combination of “occupy” (占领) and a place name–provincial capitals, economically developed regions, and few symbolic local areas. David Cameron’s net-censorship proposal earns kudos from Chinese state media. UK prime minister David Cameron (who is reported to have rioted himself and then fled police while at university) has proposed a regime of state censorship for social media to prevent people from passing on messages that incite violence.
This proposal has been warmly received by Chinese state media and bureaucrats, who are glad to see that Western governments are finally coming around to their style of management. The British Government’s wariness of the Internet and Blackberry Messenger – symbols of freedom of speech – is a forced reaction, which might upset the Western world. Meanwhile, the open discussion of containment of the Internet in Britain has given rise to a new opportunity for the whole world. 'Illegal' Internet Cafes Closed. The closure is part of Beijing's long-term strategy to regulate cybercafes. China said it has shut down more than 130,000 "illegal" Internet cafes, according to a new government report issued this week, and vows to extend the crackdown from urban to rural areas.
Nearly 7,000 of the closures took place in 2010. The closures took place over the past six years as part of Beijing's long-term strategy to regulate cybercafes, official media reported on Friday.

LE MONDE | • Mis à jour le | Par Brice Pedroletti - SHANGHAÏ CORRESPONDANT L'alpaga, une espèce de lama des hauts plateaux andins, est devenu en Chine le symbole d'un mouvement de résistance à la censure. Tout a débuté par un clip vidéo diffusé sur Internet utilisant le mammifère comme personnage principal. Puis des photos, des dessins et même des peluches d'alpagas ont été échangés comme signe de ralliement.

Waiting for Wikileaks: Beijing’s Seven Secrets. While people in the US and elsewhere have been reacting to the release by WikiLeaks of classified US documents on the Afghan War, Chinese bloggers have been discussing the event in parallel with another in their own country.
On July 21 in Beijing, four days before WikiLeaks published its documents, Chinese President Hu Jintao convened a high-level meeting to discuss ways to prevent leaks from the archives of the Communist Party of China. Party archives in China exist at local, provincial, and central levels and have always been secret and extremely closely guarded.
