==== Why the Authorities Can’t Catch Me–A Summary of My Security Experience After Ten Years of Anti-Party Activities ====
 
  
[https://chinadigitaltimes.net/chinese/605062.html January 31, 2019]
+
From May 9, 2021, program-think ceased to be active on their blog and social media accounts, sparking fears among readers and activists that the blogger may have been identified and detained by Chinese authorities.
  
I haven’t been online for several days, and some readers have expressed concern that something might’ve happened to me. Not to worry! I was still replying to comments as of the 21st. As of the time of publishing of this blog post, within a 14-day window, my silence counts as “ordinary inactivity.
+
====Origins====
 +
Program-think's blog launched on Blogger on January 15, 2009. The author of the blog originally wrote largely about IT and programming, but from 2010-11 began writing increasingly on politically sensitive topics. Their blog became known as a must-read for anyone who had just arrived on the other side of the [[Great Firewall]]. For readers who had trouble [[scale the wall|scaling the wall]], program-think provided "offline browsing" and "email subscription" services, as well as a quarterly update on security news and a review of their own security practices.<ref>[https://chinadigitaltimes.net/chinese/667737.html 【404档案馆】CDT播客第9期:知名反共技术博主编程随想“失踪”]</ref>
  
[] “The Imperial Court wants to catch me but cannot succeed,” which shows that my defensive measures are basically reliable.
+
In 2013, program-think was [https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/blogger-06152021111534.html nominated for best Chinese blog] at the Deutsche Welle International Best of Blogs Awards. The author told Deutsche Welle that it was never their intention to write on politics, merely to share their years of programming experience.  
  
Readers familiar with my blog know that I have been discrediting the party-state for many years (from the first political blog post to today, it has been more than 9.5 years, rounding to the nearest ten years [sic]).
+
====Princeling Network Map and Github Controversy====
 +
On Feburary 29, 2016, program-think launched the [https://github.com/programthink/zhao# Princeling Network Map] on Github, exposing the connections and hidden wealth of high-ranking members of the CCP. The project collected public information from Wikipedia and reporting from international media outlets including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and others. The project includes details on more than 130 families and 700 individuals.
  
I remember that many years ago, someone said something to me in the blog comment area (the following is the gist of it):
+
On June 8, 2016, China's quasi-official [https://www.csis.org/analysis/what-make-newly-established-cybersecurity-association-china Cyber Security Association of China] issued its first takedown request to Github, claiming that the Princeling Network Map "[https://github.com/github/gov-takedowns/blob/master/China/2016/2016-06-08-programthink-zhao.md vilifies our President Xi Jingping] as a murder suspect, which is a groundless and malicious slander]." Github complied by suspending access to the project for users in mainland China, but the project continues to remain accessible for users outside the Great Firewall.
  
You, child, can show off on the internet because the cybersecurity police haven’t noticed you; when they turn their eyes to you, you can count your days.
+
====Evading the Authorities====
 +
For more than 12 years, program-think succeeded in masking their identity and evading arrest by Chinese authorities, despite continuing to reside and write from China. In 2019, to mark the tenth anniversary of the blog, the author published an exhaustive post documenting their experience eluding China's cyber police, as well as a guide for readers on how to cover their own identities online. An excerpt of this and other of program-think's posts has been [https://chinadigitaltimes.net/2021/06/translation-program-think-notorious-anonymous-chinese-blogger-feared-detained/ translated by China Digital Times].
  
At that time, many things hadn’t happened yet, and I lacked the material to refute [the commenter]. Now I can refute it confidently – the relevant departments of the Imperial Court have long been eyeing me; unfortunately, they can’t do anything about me.
+
====Disappearance====
 +
Program-think's blog and social media accounts have not been active since May 9, 2021. In previous posts, program-think implied that any inactivity on their accounts for longer than two weeks meant they had been captured by authorities. On June 15, 2021, [https://www.rfa.org/english/news/china/blogger-06152021111534.html Radio Free Asia] cited a social media account claiming that program-think had been detained in Shanghai and possibly tortured, but this was later [https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/07/07/chinese-cyber-legend-vanishes-raising-concerns# refuted] by another netizen.
  
If you want to see the evidence, please read the “Ten Years of Running My Blog” post from several days ago. I’ve excerpted some of the main points:
+
In June 2021, CDT found that "program-think" was [https://chinadigitaltimes.net/chinese/667737.html banned from search] on the Bilibili site and app, but that a Google search outside of China did show results for related content. "Program-think" did not return relevant results on Douyin. WeChat had not entirely blocked searches for "program-think," and in fact would autocomplete with "caught," but no relevant content would show up in public accounts. The text of a few of program-think's blog posts could still be found on Weibo and Zhihu.
  
1. As early as the 2011 “Jasmine Revolution,” I published a number of blog posts on the nature of “incitement.” (Note: those articles obviously discuss the major crime of “inciting subversion of state power.”)
 
 
2. In 2016, the Imperial Court issued a government takedown request to Github in an attempt to delete the “Princeling Party Relationship Network” project that I maintained. (Note: Github has a spine, and the project is still standing today.)
 
 
3. Two state-backed attacks against my Gmail account (Note: in 2011 and 2017 respectively)
 
 
4. A large-scale “screen flooding” [spamming of the comments section] attack on the comment area of my blog in 2017. (Note: the Blogspot comment system has a CAPTCHA mechanism. To achieve the requisite rate for screen flooding, you need a lot of Fifty Centers all at the same time.)
 
 
The aforementioned signs have already proven that I am a thorn in the sides of the relevant departments of the Imperial Court.
 
 
Having expended so much breath, I want to emphasize one point–my defense measures are sound!
 
 
In other words, I dare not say that my defense measures are perfect (perfection is impossible), but at least there are no obvious loopholes. Otherwise (if there were obvious loopholes), I would either be pursued across provincial lines, or my account would be compromised. How could I “willfully discredit the Court and viciously attack the party and state leaders” over the last ten years? […] </blockquote>

Program-think's Blogspot (program-think)
