18th Party Congress Dos and Don’ts

The 18th Party Congress, which opens today in Beijing, will decide the leadership of China for the next decade. Security in the capital is tight–authorities are watching for everything from pigeons to explosives. Netizens share some examples of how they are  “welcoming” the congress:

Team 4 Drivers: To ensure the smooth opening of the 18th Party Congress, the transportation office is requiring the drivers of all operating vehicles to remove the cranks from the rear windows. However, some drivers have yet to comply with the directive. On-road inspections begin tomorrow. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Dear Forum Administrators:

Due to circumstances beyond our control, all 5d6d-level forums will be temporarily closed during the 18th Party Congress.

Period of Closure: November 7, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. until the complete closing of the Congress
Affected Servers: All servers (including 5d6d official forums)
Level of Effect: Forums will be closed. Those who attempt to visit the forums will be rerouted to the same error page.

In order to keep damage to a minimum and in consideration of forum administrators, 5d6d is now offering a free data export service. Those who wish to keep their forums at 5d6d will have their forums reopened after the closing of the 18th Party Congress. Administrators wishing to leave may go to [Post Regarding the Application for Data Export]. Be aware that after successful application for data export, your 5d6d forums will permanently close.

As those administrators who read official forums may already know, we received Internet security directives from higher authorities on [October] 29. After two days of communicating with authorities, we were unable to reverse the directive to close the forums. With the current situation in China as it is, it would seem we are left with no other option [but to comply].

Celebrate the 18th Party Congress! Congratulate the successful opening of the 18th Party Congress!
