More and more and more Beijing loves cars Chinese bloggers dis on SARFT online video regulation Summer to end as usual Actually, it was back in mid-June that the Mirror first turned its attention to this pressing problem, and its reports were snapped up by other papers. Yangcheng Evening News ran a story the following day that included the line, "According to a Mirror report, yesterday Poppy Sebag-Montefiore did a webcam interview with Chinese actress and blog star Xu Jinglei for the U.K's Channel 4. There's a blog post about it on the More 4 blog, which bills itself as a "warts and all" look inside the More 4 newsroom: It is wonderful that the most popular blog in China (and in the world) is written by a young Chinese woman who is just trying to figure things out, engage on pleasures and problems of daily life, and communicate with people in a personal, truthful and positive way.

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.
