Definitely newsworthy, history-making and much more on this story:
The speed is unprecedented for the web-based petition campaign. Call it Internet with Chinese characteristics. In less than a week, the entire Chinese online community and cellphone service is mobilized.
The latest signatures stand at over 16 million (March 28, 5:49 pm Beijing time). The original targeted number of 20 million, planned for August, will be reached soon.
For the hosting Chinese website, go to here. Sina alone has collected more than five million, see here.
