summer showing season

green shoes, green spring

sunyuan, milk?

big old wall , walk down the street

can't find the painter

fuu fuu

destroy is undone

bell & drum towers

playing & crying kid

punking grils

far-old

labour day's midi festival

crafts, wounds, no words, how you can find the happiness


my painting


band from beijing which biult at the end of 2004

free midi festival, free space

the tickets are too expensive, but you won't kown where is the artist

designing my t-shirt, losing my teeth

simple lunch, multiple is trouble, just a cup of beer

Emilly, fucking wall, make love no war

China: more on Hu Jintao's new net censorship regs

Xeni Jardin: Following up on a BB post about news reports of new internet regulations in China, BoingBoing reader Will says,

This is from the blog of an English-language "polisher" who works for Xinhua news agency. The piece that got picked up by Reuters (and passed on to CNN) actually crossed his desk. His view, like those of many observers here in China, is that Hu Jintao's statements are, at this stage, typical government claptrap. "Duffman says a lot of things."

Although China still labors under an uneven regime of censorship, there is a surprisingly wide array of opinion and internal debate that goes on, in print and on the 'net. danwei.org is always a good place to start if you're curious about what's going on in the Chinese media. They publish interviews, translations, and provide a very down-to-earth perspective on the Chinese press and its travails.

Yahoo aided China in torture, says dissident in lawsuit papers

eni Jardin:

Snip from New York Times story:

A Chinese political prisoner and his wife sued Yahoo in federal court Wednesday, accusing the company of abetting the commission of torture by helping Chinese authorities identify political dissidents who were later beaten and imprisoned.

The suit, filed under the Alien Tort Claims Act and the Torture Victims Protection Act, is believed to be the first of its kind against an Internet company for its activities in China.

Wang Xiaoning, who according to the suit is serving a 10-year prison sentence in China; his wife, Yu Ling; and other unnamed defendants seek damages and an injunction barring Yahoo from identifying dissidents to Chinese authorities.

Link, here's a Reuters item, here's the AP's item, and here's the Washington Post's item.

Wired News reporter Luke O'Brien, who covered the story as it developed in this earlier piece, has an update today. Snip:

I just spoke with former dissident Harry Wu, who helped arrange Yu's travel to the United States. He told me Yu Ling is leaving tomorrow morning to go back to China. Today she wanted to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. She walked the whole thing.
