Sensitive Words: Show-Off Girl and More

Sensitive Words: Show-Off Girl and More

As of May 15, the following search terms are blocked on Weibo (not including the “search for user” function):

我带干爹去战斗!

I’m taking my Godfather into battle!

Hot Topics:

  • BJDaily (BJ日报): Beijing Daily
  • Show-Off Girl (炫富女), Ma Lihong (马力宏): Weibo user Yang Zilu (@杨紫璐) wrote that her godfather chartered a plane for 8.88 million yuan for himself and Yang to see the London Olympics, posting snazzy photos as well. Some netizens think the “Lihong” Yang mentions is not the pop star Wang Lihong, but instead Zhejiang Province Communist Party Party Provost Ma Lihong.
  • Ma Chi + Ferrari + Singapore (马驰+法拉利+新加坡): Reportedly, Ma Chi is the wealthy Sichuan man who died while driving recklessly in Singapore.
  • Liu Mingze (刘明泽): Blogger Han Han sued Liu Mingze in January following allegations by Fang Zhouzi that Han Han’s writing is produced by ghostwriters. Liu is said to have sent information about the ghostwriters to Fang. But Han Han withdrew his case against Liu just one day after he had filed at the Shanghai Putuo District Court. Danwei details the Han Han v. Fang case.

 

Internet “Nicknames” for Security Chief Zhou Yongkang, an alleged backer of Bo Xilai:

  • Zhouyong (周永)
  • zyKang (zy康)
  • zYongK (z永K)
