Internet - China’s internet quiet on Zhao Ziyang
Intense policing has stopped until now a public outburst on the internet, after former leader Zhao Ziyang passed away. Initially hundreds of comments flocked to different weblogs, like here at cnblog.org, where over 460 comments were registered before the section had to close down. At its archive, this section is still visible.
On Beijing Blogger visited the house of Zhao Ziyang to mourn him and describes here about his feelings.
Like in other cases, the public security (as the police is called in China) relied on traditional methods, rather than high tech surveillance techniques. “They called us a few times, to say we should take care,” says a representative of one of the Chinese weblog hosting services on the condition of anonymity.
I have seen no reports that would indicate more attention or blocking of foreign hosted sites. The popular comment hoster Haloscan has out of the air in China for much of this week, but is back up again and tests suggested a problem at their server, not an IP-block by the Chinese censor.
Zhao will have a public burial tomorrow in Beijing.
