BGI-Shenzhen, once known as the Beijing Genomics Institute, has burst from relative obscurity to become the world’s most prolific sequencer of human, plant, and animal DNA. In 2010, with the aid of a $1.58 billion line of credit from China Development Bank, BGI purchased 128 state-of-the-art DNA sequencing machines for about $500,000 apiece. It now owns 156 sequencers from several manufacturers and accounts for some 10 to 20 percent of all DNA data produced globally. So far, it claims to have completely sequenced some 50,000 human genomes—far more than any other group.

BGI’s sheer size has already put Chinese gene research on the map. Those same economies of scale could also become an advantage as comprehensive gene readouts become part of everyday medicine. The cost of DNA sequencing is falling fast. In a few years, it’s likely that millions of people will want to know what their genes predict about their health. BGI might be the one to tell them.

[…] Wang [Jian, BGI's president and cofounder], the Everest climber, is still frequently asked to explain BGI’s strategy and its intentions. He says to think of a wandering migrant worker—looking for opportunity and occasionally irritating the authorities. That is what BGI is like. But its only core mission is to do work that will be socially useful, he says: its strategy is to “do good.”

The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing has an intriguing new take on China’s place in the debate over Apple, iPhones, and the people who make them. While Americans hash out the moral ups and downs of having our electronics produced by Chinese factory hands, a young performance artist named Li Liao decided to jump into the middle of it. He got an assembly-line job making iPads, and forty-five days later he used his wages to buy one. As an exhibit, he put the iPad on a pedestal, tacked up his uniform and badges, and framed his contract. The effect, on a white gallery wall, is a strangely addictive ready-made tableau about the intersection of money, aspiration, and technology. I watched two young men separately linger over it for very different reasons: one was a hip Chinese gallerygoer in chunky glasses and a camel-hair coat, taking it all in; the other was a gallery security guard in a borrowed suit and white gloves. He was studying the details of the contract.

Did the experience change your perceptions of Apple one way or the other?

I worked at Foxconn for forty-five days. Before that, I was already an Apple consumer. I don’t think this experience changed my perception of the products; it only made one thing clearer: many of the products in this world actually have nothing to do with the workers who made them. To most of the workers there, Apple was just a name, a logo.

“I would hardly be here to buy Li’s book if not for what happened to him on Sunday,” one young man said. “I just came here to show my support for Li, a liberal-minded critic.”

[…] Meanwhile, dozens of protesters, most in their 40s or 50s and some wearing Mao Zedong badges, gathered outside the building.

One of the protesters said he was outraged by some of Li’s recent comments, such as labelling those who took to the streets in anti-Japanese demonstrations in Shenzhen “brain damaged”.

“Li is a typical traitor who does nothing more than distort history and mislead the public, particularly the young,” he said.

Also at the South China Morning Post, Laura Zhou had previously described Sunday’s altercation, over which Li is reportedly considering legal action.

Li Chengpeng, a former journalist, was punched in the head during an afternoon signing of his new book for readers at the Zhongguancun Bookstore in Haidian district, and another man was filmed throwing a packaged kitchen knife at Li.

The man who punched Li claimed to have a strong aversion to the content of Li’s new book, The Whole World Knows. The assailant was taken away by Beijing police, according to a post on the public security bureau’s microblog that night.

The new book is a collection of essays that include sensitive topics such as the shoddy quality of school buildings that collapsed and killed thousands of students during the 2008 Sichuan earthquake and the alleged cover-up of the 2011 Wenzhou train crash.

The knife incident, in which a man waited in line to present Li with the threatening “gift”, and then threw it at him when it was apparently rejected, was caught on video (via SCMP’s John Kennedy):

In contrast with the action in Beijing and Shenzhen, Li’s signing in Chengdu on Saturday was markedly subdued. Li had been ordered not to address the audience and wore a mask over his mouth in protest. Global Voices Online translated a weibo post Li sent before the event, together with a selection of other users’ reactions:

Someone just delivered a strict order: at my book signing event, I’m not allowed to talk; the readers are not allowed to ask me any questions; I can’t even introduce myself or say “ Happy New Year, Thank you”. I’m not even allowed to introduce the names of other guests at my event; they are not allowed to talk or answer any questions. They can only sit in the corner. I deeply feel it’s against my understanding of dignity. They are crazy.

王金明小伙[zh]: It’s the most depressing signing event I’ve ever experienced. There were many people on the spot but no sound. The policemen were guarding each corner. Li wore a mask and signed his book with the wrong date. His guests only appeared very shortly before being asked to step down. There were tears on Li’s face.

I suddenly discovered that the Communist Party has made creating a buzz into an art. Li Chengpeng’s book signing was just a small ordinary event, but after the Communist Party’s handling of it, it became a work of performance art that has spread throughout the world.

Bruce Humes and Sascha Matuszak blogged their accounts of the Shenzhen and Chengdu signings, respectively.

Scuffles between leftists and liberals also broke out outside the offices of the Southern Weekly newspaper, during protests over censorship of its New Year greeting. Li was particularly outspoken about the Southern Weekly affair. From an interview at Japan’s Asahi Shimbun:

To me, this feels as if the insult toward freedom of speech has been lifted up a level. I cannot stand it, and I believe many other people feel the same.

China’s Constitution recognizes freedom of speech. The new party leadership advocates the rule of law. It should therefore sponsor freedom of speech–but doesn’t. The reality is different.

[…] I’ve felt pressure. I’ve been braced to see my blog shut down. Yet, we are not challenging the government. We just want China to become a better country.

The fact that many people have raised their voice this time has great significance. This is the first step on a long road toward achieving freedom of speech.

The following censorship instructions, issued to the media by central government authorities, have been leaked and distributed online.

Central Propaganda Department: All media are to cease reporting and commenting on the confiscation of the Guo Lanying Art School property. (December 27, 2012)

中宣部：对郭兰英艺术学校房产被查封及相关问题，各媒体不再报道评论。

Guo is a soprano known best for her rendition of patriotic songs, such as “My Motherland” (我的祖国). It seems that a falling-out with major shareholders has lead to the dismissal of the Art School’s long-time manager, Wu Ting’an, and closure of the school property. Guo is also embroiled in lawsuits which put her on the line for at least 20 million RMB [zh].

Central Propaganda Department: All media outlets and websites are to report the Ren Jianyu case in strict accord with the wire copy released by Xinhua and the Chongqing high court. Do not put the news on the front page or lure readers to the story. Do not alter headlines. Do not produce any other reports or commentary apart from the wire copy. Do not send reporters to Chongqing. (December 27, 2012)

中宣部：各媒体及网站关于任建宇案的报道严格按新华社通稿和重庆高院发布的通稿刊播，不上头版和导读，不改动标题，除通稿外不做其他报道和评论，不派记者去重庆。

Central Propaganda Department: Shenzhen will announce the results of its audit of the Universiade today. All media are kindly asked to report according to the Shenzhen Auditing Bureau announcement. Do not play up negative aspects, and do not connect this to recent cases of corruption in Shenzhen. (December 27, 2012)

中宣部：今天深圳公布大运会审计公告，请各媒体按深圳审计局的公告报道，不作负面炒作，不跟近期深圳腐败案联系。

The audit reveals that the Universiade, or World University Games, held in 2011 cost the city of Shenzhen 12.8 billion RMB (about US$2 bil). Former vice-mayor Liang Daoxing, who oversaw preparation for the games, is under investigation for graft.

Chinese journalists and bloggers often refer to those instructions as “Directives from the Ministry of Truth.” CDT has collected the selections we translate here from a variety of sources and has checked them against official Chinese media reports to confirm their implementation.

Since directives are sometimes communicated orally to journalists and editors, who then leak them online, the wording published here may not be exact. The original publication date is noted after the directives; the date given may indicate when the directive was leaked, rather than when it was issued. CDT does its utmost to verify dates and wording, but also takes precautions to protect the source.

In the first official report on Xi’s southern tour, Xinhua said Xi met local officials and business chiefs from state-owned and private companies and stressed that the restructuring of the economy “admits no delay” if China is not to lose out internationally. Xinhua did not mention other activities on Xi’s southern tour.

Xi was quoted as saing: “We should acknowledge the economic and social achievements we have made so far this year and recognise the long-term fundamentals will remain sound … meanwhile, we should recognise that adverse domestic and overseas effects will be long-term, complicated and winding. We should not run from conflicts and cover up problems.”

Xinhua said Xi interacted intensively with those at the meeting, who raised problems with tax, financial and land policies, the bleak trade outlook and difficulties faced by small businesses. He also told them not to read from prepared scripts.

The New York Times looks at the importance and potential impact of the Shenzhen trip:

Mr. Xi, known as a skillful consensus builder, has kept his ideas carefully veiled throughout his career, but his trip to Shenzhen is the strongest sign yet that he may favor more open policies. In a speech in Beijing on Nov. 29, Mr. Xi spoke of the “Chinese dream” of realizing the nation’s “revival,” which, besides being a call for renewal, also signaled strong nationalist leanings.

Mr. Xi’s father, Xi Zhongxun, was a revered senior official handpicked by Mr. Deng to help shape the new economic policies and oversee the creation of the Shenzhen zone. Mr. Xi’s mother lives in Shenzhen, and he visited her on his trip, according to Hong Kong news reports.

“If he indeed went to Shenzhen, that means he intends to make reform a subject of priority,” said Li Weidong, a liberal political analyst. “That would really be a phenomenon.”

Mr. Li cautioned, though, that the so-called reform policies that followed Mr. Deng’s 1992 southern tour, in his view, “ended up being fake” because China’s boom resulted in widespread corruption and the expansion of state enterprises at the expense of private entrepreneurship.

Corruption is indeed the major challenge facing the new Xi administration, which he has confronted so far by requiring simpler and humbler government. For the Council on Foreign Relations, Elizabeth Economy looks at three other strategies Xi and his colleagues may take to try to curb official excesses.

The following examples of censorship instructions, issued to the media and/or Internet companies by various central (and sometimes local) government authorities, have been leaked and distributed online. Chinese journalists and bloggers often refer to those instructions as “Directives from the Ministry of Truth.” CDT has collected the selections we translate here from a variety of sources and has checked them against official Chinese media reports to confirm their implementation.

Since directives are sometimes communicated orally to journalists and editors, who then leak them online, the wording published here may not be exact. The original publication date is noted after the directives; the date given may indicate when the directive was leaked, rather than when it was issued. CDT does its utmost to verify dates and wording, but also takes precautions to protect the source.

The following directives were all issued by the Guangdong Department of Propaganda. CDT published three other directives from this source on November 7.

Guangdong Department of Propaganda: Do not report or comment on the situation concerning East China Normal University professor Zhang Xuezhong. (November 8, 2012)

广东省委宣传部：对华东师范大学教师张雪忠的有关情况不报不评。

Zhang, a professor at the Shanghai university’s law school, was barred from teaching undergraduates in September after writing about the plan to introduce patriotism classes into Hong Kong schools [zh]. (Protests lead the plan to be scrapped.) Zhang’s Sina and Tencent Weibo accounts were deleted in early October, but he has “reincarnated” and continues to post on the microblogging platforms. He wrote the following weibo on Tencent on November 8:

ZhangXuezhong: Without democracy, we cannot contain corruption; if we cannot contain corruption, we cannot improve people’s lives; if we do not improve people’s lives, social development is out of the question. The root of all problems lies in our lack of democracy; the solution to all these problems lies in realizing democracy. I have never once believed that I can degrade myself to the point that I cannot even enjoy the conditions for democratic rights; I have always believed that those who deprive me of my democratic rights are the true enemy.

张雪忠:没有民主，就不可能遏制腐败；不能遏制腐败，就不可能改善民生；不改善民生，就谈不上社会发展。一切问题的根源，就在于缺乏民主；一切问题的答案， 就在于实现民主。我从来就不相信会低贱到连享有民主权利的资格都没有；我一直都认为，那些剥夺民主权利的人，才是真正的敌人。

Guangdong Department of Propaganda: Do not reprint, report, or comment on retired Guangzhou Shipyard International and Guangzhou City Construction Group [广州城建集团] senior employee Li Yunqing owning 24 properties and related reports. (November 8, 2012)

广东省委宣传部：对广船、广州城建退休高层李芸卿拥有24套房产一事及相关报道不转载、不报道、不评论。

Guangdong Department of Propaganda: Do not report or comment on the online rumor that Sun Zhigang‘s younger brother Sun Zhiguo refuses to use his older brother’s fame to make money. (November 9, 2012)

广东省委宣传部：对网传孙志刚弟弟孙志国拒用其哥名声挣钱一事不报不评。

Guangdong Department of Propaganda: Do not report or comment on the news that two 18th Party Congress representatives were selected during a business workshop in Changchun, Jilin. (November 9, 2012)

广东省委宣传部：对吉林长春一企业一车间同时选出两名十八大代表一事不报不评。

Guangdong Department of Propaganda: The Guangdong delegation to the 18th Party Congress held a discussion on the morning of November 9. With regards to the segments during which Governor Zhu Xiaodan spoke and Chinese and foreign journalists asked questions, without exception strictly adhere to the news wire copy provided by the general office. Do not change the titles or body of the text. All media and websites are forbidden from making any other form of report or commentary. (November 9, 2012)

广东省委宣传部：十八大广东代表团9日上午开放讨论，有关朱小丹省长的发言和中外记者提问环节的问题一律严格按办公厅提供的新闻通稿刊播，不改动标题和内文，各媒体及网站不作其他任何形式的报道和评论。

Guangdong Department of Propaganda: Strictly review content with regards to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection report discussing revisions to the Party constitution. Use Xinhua wire copy without exception. Do not link to other reports. (November 11, 2012)

广东省委宣传部：对关于纪委报告讨论党章修改一事要严格把关，一律采用新华社通稿，不链接其它报道。

(November 11, 2012)

广东省委宣传部：关于昨天武汉至郑州高铁故障、北京马拉松拒绝日本选手参赛、74%公务员超负荷工作、深圳一男子交了19年社保只取得退休养老金1220元等事不报不评不转。

Guangdong Department of Propaganda: Except for Xinhua wire copy, do not report on the media reports that Wang Lijun has been expelled from the Party and from public office. (November 11, 2012)

广东省委宣传部：对有媒体报道王立军被开除党籍、开除公职一事除新华社通稿外一律不报。

“Are we not going to be able to continue working?” Since the beginning of August, Shenzhen’s Hand-in-Hand Workers’ Activity Center has faced routine inspections by lower-level government bureaus, and this has its leader, Chen Yandi, worried. Chen’s concern is certainly not unfounded. After inspections began, the landlord of the NGO’s office terminated their lease, leaving them with the choice of either not working or having to relocate.

[…] On July 1^st of this year, Guangdong’s provincial government produced, “On Promoting the Development and Regulated Management of Social Organizations,” in which the government ruled that except under special circumstances and in specific fields, social organizations in Guangdong would no longer need a professional supervising unit to sponsor them. Instead, they could register directly with the Ministry of Civil Affairs. From the perspective of social organizations, this would remove a great burden.

[...A]fter the release of the new law, someone from the Shenzhen Migrant Workers’ Center went to the Longgang Civil Affairs bureau to ask if they could register. Two weeks later, their reply was, “This is just something the media is cooking up.”

[...] Yu Jianrong of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences expressed that having worked with labor organizations many times in the past, he has kept close watch on the Shenzhen “routine inspection” issue. As he understands it, a great number of these labor organizations only want to help workers who find themselves disadvantaged in modern society. They provide help and services that are beneficial towards solving conflicts between labor and capital interests, and they also help the government in solving labor disputes.

[...] At the same time, he feels that that the Guangdong provincial government is putting special importance on social construction and development.  Moreover, Shenzhen is in many respects at the forefront of the country. The government should, within the framework of social construction, regulate and guide the development of labor NGOs.
