If 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 droppe…
>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.
Many harmless words have already been banned in various platforms due to mis-classification errors, and if underground activism picks up pace, maybe it'll eventually crack the rather crude censorship method at scale.
this is truly an embarrassment
It starts right in the middle of the cultural revolution and does not paint the party in a positive light. It'd be interesting to know why this wasn't censored.
I heard something about China being excellent at manufacturing, but having trouble with creating new industries and President Xi noticed that in the west those creating new industries often liked and were inspired by Scifi.
I wonder if this gives Chinese science fiction authors a free pass? It'd be interesting to hear the perspective from someone who knows more about the culture.
The beginning of the book touches explicitly on the removal of professors that disagree with the party.

Europe: "Citizens have the right to be forgotten." China: "We can and will make you forgotten."
Not caring about what's happening in China is not caring about humanity at all.
Whats different from the attrocities committed by organised terror like ISIS when compared to the atrocities committed by Chinese government towards Tibetians, Muslims, Prisoners etc. ?
For all the boasting about Privacy, Humanity by Apple it gives away data to Chinese govt for someone to rot in their prison or worse death. So is the state of all other companies doing business with China.
Now that it's a super power, it's been flexing its power outside its borders. It aided in the genocide of Tamil population in Srilanka during final Elam war just to get to India at south. It has a military base in Myanmar & we all know what happened there.
Edit:Typo
If the data is open, it would be very interesting to see who and how this is being downvoted.
