Meticulous revoltPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, January 26, 2008 6:02 PM
The Washington Post has published an article by Maureen Fan about the recent protest 'strolls' in Shanghai, in which prosperous urban residents are demonstrating against the construction of a high speed train route through their neighborhood. The article is titled Shanghai's Middle Class Launches Quiet, Meticulous Revolt. It's a good review of the affair, but here is a small, nit-picking correction:
The government does not block Chinese websites; it forces Chinese websites to self-censor. If they do not comply, they can be taken off the Internet using technological means, or their web masters can be arrested. Blocking is a pleasure reserved for websites hosted on servers outside Mainland China, such as Youtube. Links and Sources
