China joins Iran in Blocking Social Media During Protest Crackdowns
- Text size
July 7, 2009
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
More as we have it, but TechCrunch is reporting on an apparent Chinese crackdown on Twitter and Facebook access, plus search censorship, seemingly in response to the riots of ethnic Uighurs over the weekend. That China has no qualms about attempting to limit access and censor the internet is well known; witness the recent uproar over the planned “Green Dam”, currently on hold. Much of that seemed aimed at more generalized state control and was wrapped in the ‘porn prevention/social responsibility’ cloak that so many government censors use. (And many in the West see the targeting of Google and other Western companies in these crackdowns as an underhanded way to promote domestic Chinese companies.
This crackdown, however, seems to be attempting to limit the access of those involved in protests to the tools to spread and organize their message.
Techcrunch quotes Web2Asia:
Web2Asia’s George Godula writes:
“As of today 8pm Chinese time Facebook seems not to be accessible from most parts of China Mainland anymore. On the China Telecom connection of our Shanghai office the service vanished at around 7:45pm. Friends in Hong Kong are reporting that they can still access the website.”
China’s Uighur minority group has been rioting after a peaceful protest clashed with the police. Many have referred to the latest protests as being driven by concerns about ethnic identity and fears that a separatist movements dream of an independent state are fading. (Coverage of the riots.)
Xinjiang, where at least 140 people have died in China’s worst riots since the Tiananmen Square massacre, is a vast area of desert and mountains, as distinct from eastern China in history, atmosphere and geography as Turkey is from Britain.
With the death toll and number of injured mounting, China is trying to both stop the demonstrators and squash their message through control of social media. More as we have it.

At least the amerikan media covered teh TEA parties on july 4th, but they spun it around to make it look like Juan McCane supporters.

I was hoping to see some Chinese protest signs written in English ( like in Iran ) !

I can’t believe that Iranian & Chinese citizens will take to the streets over the smallest of things, like election results, but we, here in the U.S. are losing our entire futures, & we throw peaceful Tea Parties? For real though! We should be overturning, & ousting everyone of these tyrant officials, but we sit back, hanging on to false hope, that these officials will do the right thing in the end? Just despicable! If I could, or had the know how, to start a Nation wide protest, I would without a doubt, do it. However, there are many folks out there that know how to do this, & no one’s doing it, with the exception of the Tea Parties, of course! We have a major communication problem here! Why doesn’t Alex call for a Nation wide gathering? He is better equipped, & better known than most anybody else here in this movement, but he just talks, & shows no action at all? I’m starting to wonder if everything all these people are saying about him is true? Him being CIA, or Jesuit, or whatever people call him! We have to band together, as one force & one voice, or else be enslaved? It’s idea time, & everyone of you count! No matter how small or insignificant you think your idea many be, it may be just the thing to cure or ill’s! You count, & you count & you do too! Every single one of us does! Liberty or Tyranny, what is it going to be?

Patriot, I am with you 100%!! I think the time for talk is approaching an end. Alex has done an incredible job of waking up millions. Now we need those millions to act. We start peacefully. I have said this before. If we can get 1 million, or even a couple hundred thousand we can shut down D.C. for a few days. We have to do this peacefully so that we can expose the government for what it is when it starts with the tear gas and rubber bullets.
You are right that Alex is better equipped than anyone to organize this. With a rallying cry over the course of a couple months and we could have this thing rolling for early fall, just in time for the next round of total economic meltdown.
What say you Alex? You claim to be the tip of the spear. Lets see it!!
Guys, start calling the show and asking that Alex hire someone to organize a MASSIVE rally a couple months down the road. How about spending that Money Bomb on this instead of more cameras. The ones you have now are fine.

Most of the people killed in the riot are Han Chinese. Get your facts straight!
Even on MSM videos such as BBC and Reuters, you can clearly see that the Chinese troops and police were trying to seperate Han and Urgur protestors from clashing with each other.
What if similar riots happen in USA? What would US police do if bands of blacks kill 140 whites on one day? Go figure yourself. I think Chinese troops are rather tolerant in this riot. And those Urgur wives protesting and crying on MSM videos, sorry but I don’t buy this. Their husbands have killed and injured innocent people a day ago, and what do they expect? That their husband stay home without even getting arrested and questioned? If you dare to commit a crime, be prepare to pay with your own life. As simple as that.
And about the twitters and facebooks, these are just perfect manipulative tools in the hands of CIA and other foreign agencies. I would say shut’em down, and never give those agencies any chance.
For those passionate western civilians always interested in other peoples business, I’d say sorry for the temporary inconvenience about your online social networking. However, it is the perfect time for you to divert your attention and energy to the shitty and criminal situations in your own country.
Don’t waste your energy ranting here on the internet. Go and DO something to fix your own governments!

Oh, by the way, about the picture that you click to get into this infowars article, I think those women and men are of Hui Chinese ethnic group. Hui are also muslims in China, just as Urgurs. They live among Han Chinese as they do in Xinjiang. What I heard is that they are also among the victims of the riot on Sunday.
No use playing any religious game in this case. Simply put, all those Urgur thugs who started this riot deserve their trials and jail time for their crime. Those who kill will pay with their lives. As fair as that.

Brandon, maybe I’m out of the loop here, but I just checked out your website and read about you getting the enhanced ID. Why would you actually want that? is this a joke?

The truth is we don`t really know whats going on. So we probably shouldn`t pick sides. Chances are, this is one of Zbigniew Brzezinskis fomentations to destabilize China.
Another thing is the Honduras issue. We don`t really know whos side the globalists are on for the most. Specially now that Zelaya is meeting with Hillary.
On the Iran case. The evidence is out! MI6, CIA, MOSSAD. They`re all over the place. And they got cought! Red handed!

##########Legal Action You Can Take Against Forced Vaccinations (Opinion)##########
- – -Any person can call his or her local district court and find out how to file a criminal complaint as a private citizen. Then complete the blanks in her Criminal Charges document, and hand it in.
This document is a 112 page comprehensive masterpiece reflecting months of exhaustive evidence gathering and assembly. It exemplifies a dogged devotion to purpose and cause.
..there is no need for you to hire a lawyer to file these forms. As this is a criminal complaint, not a civil complaint, there is no fee required for filing it.

Patriot you have some very good points. Who knows who anyone is or who they work for. Just like mother Russia, our country is ALREADY using communist style spies and methods (see NJ mayor gun snitch article). Although patriots will be the ones needed to stand up and do something of meaning and real result, there will be unforseen side effects, just like all those pecker pills America is in love with(seriously what is up with the bathtubs in those commercials! I hate sex in the tub:-)
Most everybody with a pulse and a love of Pacino has seen scarface. In the movie, he talks about how he went to organized crime and committed crimes because he was a political prisoner. “How would you feel if there was a chivano on every corner telling you what to do and what to eat.” But think about that real deep, because as most 30 somethings, this was a really deep statement for a mainstream movie, and made me give great thought to the plague of communism. It inspired me to research (before the internet I actually got off my ass and spent summer play time doing so) communism, Russia, Cuba and China. This and my family’s history of military service inspired me to join the cadet corps and eventually the military. Back to the point of scarface: how many scarfaces will our govt inadvertantly create when they fubar our communicatios, tell us where to work, how much we are allowed to get paid, where to go to the doctor, and what kinda car we can drive.
We have spent lives and treasure to free the world of communism. My Dad is way screwed up from being Special Forces in Vietnam. The things he saw and did made him check out. The things my grandfathers have told me about WWII and Korea would make certain wussys throw up. Yet we cannot liberate ourselves from the same style of communism. I am sure as I sit here and type this, my Grandpa is rolling in his grave to see the govt and the military backing all these very communist style laws and actions. Be Careful Amerika. Change you can believe in= Change we make you believe in. Be careful not to disagree with the Great One, or your fellow citizens will turn you in for the $1000 govt reward money. Anyone who doesn’t see that once our money and economy are totally under control, that this scenario WILL HAPPEN, needs to send me some of what they are smokin, because I for one am depressed and heart broken to see this happen to this Great Nation that I would die for still.
