Re: Tsinghua law professor who criticized Xi Jinping barred from leaving China
#2If you're unaware, he was was suspended from his position and banned from leaving because he questioned making Xi leader for life.
They are also scrubbing his name from the news and social media. Disappearing him is a very possible next step.
Edit:
dang I know you've said that vote/flag manipulation wasn't happening in the past when you've looked through the data.
But could you provide some insight on why this dropped from #1 to #26 in under a minute?

#4>But online, Xu himself has been virtually erased.
>Searches for his name return no result on the Twitter-like Weibo. Any mention of him in the past year has been scrubbed from Baidu, a popular search engine.
The speed that they can digitally make someone's name unusable is pretty scary.
And this is just for being publicly critical.

#6Hi Inkstone, I once critized you because of your location.
You set me straight then and are proving it again that somehow, non-censored news is possible there.
I wish you the best of luck, I don't know if I would have as much balls as you guys.
I can't seem to find a rss feed somewhere ( on mobile...)? Is that possible?
Ps. Sorry for the previous comment a while ago.
PS2. Using cloudflare. Looks legit to hide the servers IP. ( Had to check the infrastructure used :p )

#9Well, Xi stated explicitly that he demands absolute loyalty, being barred from leaving China is hardly news nowadays, but this certainly is a statement and warning made prior to the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests, in which universities palyed a seminal role.
A family in my small hometown had their 2 university sons vanished forever after that crackdown.
Leica recently had an ad on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWgLOSm1rQA

#10This is alarming. I think these kind of one-off things can feel somewhat boring or unimportant if it were some very underdeveloped tiny country with a small population.
But we're talking about a country with 1.5B people and a very sophisticated technology sector, a powerful military and a modern economy starting to act like a dictatorship.
