On July 1, the Communist Party’s centennial anniversary, the authorities arranged for a group of handsome men and women to give speeches in praise of the Communist Party in Tiananmen Square. Song Shiting, a female journalist, commented on her Weibo account that the girls looked like they were “competing for sacrifice”, which was like a horror movie and made her sweat.
Song Shiting, a female journalist for China’s Sanlian Life Weekly, posted on her personal Weibo account “Fu…” at around 11 a.m. on the July 1 Party Day. Song posted a message saying, “Those girls are arranged neatly, overflowing with proud expressions of competing for sacrifice. This is a horror movie, just a few seconds, watching my sweat hair are standing up.”
The posting immediately aroused the anger of other netizens, and many water soldiers flooded the official Weibo account of Sanlian Life Weekly, cursing the reporter for “talking nonsense and going crazy”, “Sanlian really has a lot of dogs”, “the whole family was sacrificed The journalist’s official Weibo account was criticized for “talking nonsense and being crazy”, “Sanlian is really full of dogs”, “The whole family is being sacrificed”, “It’s like she’s awake when everyone is drunk.
Another netizen searched for Song Shiting’s past articles and said, “Reading her Weibo, my sweat hairs are standing up. She’s just a cultural journalist, but I never thought she’d be an old publicist.” In response, Sanlian Life Weekly did not respond.
Weibo has become increasingly strict in recent years in controlling users’ speech
In response to the female journalist’s personal stance and the blocking of her Weibo account, Xi’an current affairs commentator Zhuang Zhi said in an interview with Radio Free Asia that in recent years, both Weibo and WeChat have become increasingly strict in controlling users’ speech. He criticized.
“This practice goes beyond the scope of control. In a normal free society, [microblog net editors] shouldn’t have to deal with this information to show society how necessary their work is. This just shows how harmful these things that Chinese webmasters do are to society. It’s actually increasing thought control, and that control is becoming more and more powerful.”
During the Communist Party’s July 1 celebration in Tiananmen Square, a group of handsome young men and beautiful women were specially arranged to represent members of the Communist Youth League, and Feng Lin, a member of the Communist Youth League, and others recited their loyalty to the Communist Party. The four chanters, including Feng Lin, were reportedly the best of more than 3,000 students from around the world.
Sitting in the front row at the day’s festivities were all students of the Communist Youth League. Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China, said from the Tiananmen Tower that the future belongs to the youth and hope rests with them. He also said that under the banner of the Communist Party of China, generations of Chinese youths have integrated their youthful struggle into the cause of the Party and the people, becoming the pioneering force in achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
In this regard, Feng Chongyi, a professor of Chinese studies at the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia, told the station that after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the authorities emphasized the “red rivers and mountains” and that only by joining the Party can one have a career.
“Now it’s a thousand horses walking on a one-way bridge, trying to squeeze into the civil service to seek employment. The party itself has no soul. Especially the young people, it is now a thousand horses retracing the one-way bridge, which is to become civil servants. But their privilege comes at the cost of servility and political risk.”
A large number of public WeChat numbers in Shandong were shut down by the webmaster
Shandong pastor John Shih told the station that a large number of local WeChat public numbers were shut down by the network administrator because of the July 1 Party celebration.
“Recently, many famous public numbers of our Christian believers have been shut down, including my public number, which can’t post articles, and sometimes we can’t send messages on WeChat. This has been particularly harsh for a while.”
Ms. Wang, an Internet user in Beijing, told reporters that in recent days, the information of the WeChat group she was in would be emptied by the net supervisor at any time:.
“I have this WeChat group, and the information I see in the morning is gone in the afternoon. Sometimes there is no more at noon. I change a (masked) avatar, less than five minutes he (network administrator) changed down. This (masked) avatar, they may feel ashamed of their face.”
Mr. Chen, a Guangdong netizen who requested anonymity, said that extremely ordinary posts are blocked or asked to be deleted these days, and that the authorities have gone to the extreme to maintain stability for its centennial celebration. It is thus clear that the Chinese have just lived 40 years of untied life, just living like human beings, and the authorities are desperate to take it away.
