Sina Weibo: No Comment

Chinese netizens are quick to express their opinions on the new order on Sina Weibo and Tencent microblogging services that outlaws commenting, a key feature of the popular services. Below are three cartoons being spread around Chinese cyberspace. To read more from Chinese netizens on this issue, see CDT Chinese.


“Hey, so banning comments can prevent the spread of rumors?”

“Of course not. They just want you to know who the real boss is.”

“Sometimes a penguin’s scarf is not a fashion accessory” [The figure on the left is the logo for Sina Weibo; the penguin is the logo of Tencent.]
