I read the following on the New York Times -
Guo Liang, the director of the China Internet Project at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said he thought Google’s accusations were little more than public whining. “Google may use politics as its excuse, which is easy for Westerners to accept, but in essence this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There were two explosions on buses in Kun Ming (昆明). The news hit NYT first but apparently has been on the news allover China.
Two thoughts go in parallel:
What the hell is going on in China? Is the explosion of riots in periphery harbinger of greater turmoil to come? As Ming Pao (明報) suggests,
内地多个地区近日接连多宗爆发流血冲突及大规模民众抗议事件，继贵州瓮安、广东惠州早前发生骚乱后，广西钦州市日前也有上千民泷到市政府外示威，至少10 人被捕。而造成2人死亡，55人受伤的云南孟连县胶农骚乱事件，至昨日上午仍有数百民泷聚集，数百名公安民警已到场戒备，防止再有骚乱发生

		<description><![CDATA[I have been following what&#8217;s happening in 瓮安 for several days. It is fascinating for the following reasons:
1. What makes a story explosive?
2. How efficient and effective the Net police is
3. The common damage control technique by the Chinese government

		<description><![CDATA[Read an summary article on China Youth Daily: 网络年代的“新闻”
5月9日，《重庆晚报》报道了一则名为《渝大女生成南大形象大使》的新闻，内容是一位名叫兰花的女博士生，“身高1．68米，是学校公认的美女；她学习成绩优异，现在是南开大学的形象代言人”。
经过更多网站以讹传讹，标题也变得越来越“醒目”、越来越“抢眼”：《靓丽女博士当选南开大学形象大使》、《女博士成南开大学形象大使已婚令男性皆叹息》、《美女博士成为南开大学形象大使竟遭众人嫉妒》……一位南开学生在博客中写道：（这些报道）简直把兰花描述成了妲己，一个人见人爱，浑身散发性感气息的天生尤物。而事实上，除了《重庆晚报》的电话采访，兰花并没有接受过任何媒体的采访
5月9日，南开大学通过人民网、国际在线、北方网等媒体发表声明，但没能阻止假新闻通过网络迅速传播、繁衍和蔓延
5月12日，北京一家媒体刊登时评《大学不该以“美女博士”媚俗》。这篇时评此前曾出现在人民网上。就连中央精神文明建设指导委员会办公室主办的“中国精神文明网”也转载了该篇时评。
一个不争的事实是，网络已经成为假新闻的“放大器”。据统计，仅北京市的网站，每天就登载4万条左右的新闻信息，论坛帖文和新闻跟帖更新量多达70万条，页面总浏览量超过10亿页次，浏览者逾亿人次。
彭兰教授分析，带来这样一种内容与形式上的边缘化现象的一个主要原因，是网民需求的刺激。
&#8211;Another related article about 张海迪建议外国人娶中国妇女应交保证书 or her alleged proposal to 最终取消全国各地的营业性网吧 
&#8211;Don&#8217;t know what to make of this. Without a mature journalism industry, Net is breeding a monster. Is it a temporary thing?

He wrote a book that builds an very interesting narrative that retraces today&#8217;s conservative movement back to the Watergate days. Fascinating and very engaging. Reminded me of another book, Before the Storm.
The book is &#8220;31 Days : The Crisis That Gave Us [...]]]></description>
