"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."
