MySpace China launched today, and The Wall Street Journal has published a piece by Jason Dean that reveals some details about the company: • "In a departure from the way other big foreign Internet companies have entered China, MySpace China will be run by a Chinese company that is controlled by local management, MySpace China Chief Executive Luo Chuan (罗川) said." The Billsdue blog has translated some more juicy details of the deal, as reported in Caijing magazine, including the below:
UPDATE:The Mutant Palm blogger registered an account on MySpace.cn and searched for words that China's Net Nanny really doesn't like: That'll never... sweet Avalokitesvara! Identical results in both .com and .cn?? This ain't gonna last past beta, people.Read the whole thing for more stuff about MySpace China the Nanny might not like: "Splittists" to Rupert Murdoch: Thanks for the Addy!

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
