Danwei's Third Plenary Session postponedPosted by Lydia Wallace, July 30, 2008 11:36 AM
 We appreciate all the interest in the event expressed by our readers. We will organize a new date for the event when things calm down in Beijing. Our apologies for canceling on such short notice. Sincerely, Update: The police have decided that we do not need to furnish them with our guest list and guest passport numbers as previously requested. Unfortunately, the news came a little too late for us to revive the event. Watch this space for details of the new date and venue. |

Comments on Danwei's Third Plenary Session postponed
they all got nerved, didn't they
What are the new rules? Groups cannot assemble or...?
Thanks
I guess this is another incidence of local bureaucrats overreacting to central directives. One hundred correct action is no match for one mistake when careers are concerned. So they overreact and ban everything.
why not have it in Shanghai?
You didn't see that coming from a mile away when you announced the planned meeting date?
Hunxuer:
Hope springs eternal in the Danwei breast.
You can use these for next time:
John SMITH, pp# C2468135
Tom JONES, pp# D1357246
Dick KING, pp# E9753642
Harry JOHNSON, pp# F8642357
...
Or, in Chinese:
Yi WANG pp# G86423579
Er LI pp# H79136482
San ZHANG pp# G68241397
...
I'm sure you're getting the idea.
I'll even write you a computer program to generate your guest list, if there's no-one at Danwei HQ who can code.
How about now? I imagine it should be OK now that the Olympics are over?
Yah, I second hardcore security for danwei. You guys should encrypt, encrypt, and encrypt!!! (If you ain't doing that already). Be paranoid, paranoid, and paranoid!!!
No I'm not too paranoid (about private stuff), since I don't have much secrets (that I care about :P ), but you guys are different, if you get my drift.
