River Crabbed: How’s My Chinese?

River Crabbed: How’s My Chinese?

The following deleted weibo was selected by CDT Chinese editors from FreeWeibo.

@21世纪大学生: Don’t you think this foreign chick’s Chinese is pretty authentic?

你觉得这洋妞儿的中文地道不?

When a government not elected by the people is shouting that it serves the people, that’s called fucking bullshit.

不是民选的政府喊着为人民服务那是放他娘的狗屁。

crabWhen something disappears from the Internet in China, netizens joke that it has been “river-crabbed,” a play on the euphemism “harmonized.” River Crabbed (河蟹档案) is a collection of blog post titles, weibo, and other materials censored from their original sources on Chinese websites, either found by CDT or brought to our attention by outside projects.
