This is from the man behind the wonderful Beijing photoblog Ziboy:

On April 29th, I will have an exhibition named Here - Photoblogger Ziboy's Self Expression at Beijing Dimensions Gallery in China.

Besides displaying my photographs of Beijing taken during the past 5years of making my photoblog, the exhibit also wishes to display photographic works around the world taken by photographers whom the Internet may connect.

The purpose is to demonstrate photography as a medium that overcomes language. Using the form of photoblogs on the internet to promote exchange and understanding among people from different countries and locations.

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.
