China's Parallel Online Universe

http://j.mp/u8CFsY  (The Diplomat)

   "As the showdown escalated between Chinese security forces and
    residents of Wukan, where villagers revolted against the Chinese
    Communist Party, you didn't find as much discussion of the incident in
    Chinese social media as you might expect. And it wasn't only because
    the internet was shut off in the town.  It was also a result of
    China's development of a set of "social media clones" that ably mimic
    the functions of the most popular, internationally recognized social
    media applications, such as Facebook and Twitter. The replicas,
    however, come with a major catch: they systematically comply with the
    Chinese Communist Party's strict censorship requirements."
