River Crabbed: Catching Tigers

River Crabbed: Catching Tigers

The following censored weibo has been captured by FreeWeibo:

全震动: After months of yelling, it’s no news that the tigers are coming to the surface. If they weren’t, now that would be some big news.

喊了几个月,老虎出来不是什么新闻,老虎出不来才是大新闻。[Source]

 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.
