Since 2010, the U.S. embassy in Beijing has maintained a Twitter feed <\/a>with hourly air quality readings. Beijingers distrustful of the city government\u2019s reports found ways to surmount the Great Firewall and access the embassy feed. Enormous discrepancies between embassy and local air quality measurements, combined with a few exceptionally bad days of smog last winter, seem to have lead the municipal government to improve its air quality monitors.<\/p>\n

After the U.S. consulate in Shanghai started its own feed this month, China claimed that air quality monitors at any foreign mission are illegal<\/a>. The U.S. insists its monitors are intended solely for the consular community, but that has not quelled Chinese government spokespeople<\/a>. Nor do the authorities think America is solely to blame. Global Times<\/em> Chief Editor Hu Xijin excerpted his paper\u2019s June 7 editorial, \u201cConfronting an Increasingly Active U.S. Embassy,\u201d in a Weibo post:<\/p>\n

HuXijin: One of the reasons for the U.S. embassy\u2019s growing activity is its group of followers within China. Through the Internet, they enter into a tacit agreement with the embassy, while also helping the embassy disseminate information through traditional media. This is a normal manifestation of the diversity of Chinese society. We cannot think of the whole thing as a \u201cU.S. embassy conspiracy.\u201d This is often China\u2019s own problem.<\/p>\n

Hu further commented on the article in a reply to his original post:<\/p>\n

HuXijin: China must assiduously guid mainstream public views in [the effective production and convergence of voices] in the public opinion space, clamping down on and balancing pro-U.S. and pro-Western voices. In nearly every country, including countries heavily influenced by the U.S., it is difficult for the pro-U.S. view to gain support. In China, however, at least on Weibo, has become an exception. This is a bit abnormal, and its causes are worthy of deep consideration.<\/p>\n

ArabianYouth: The reason is that you can speak relatively freely on Weibo, so the people\u2019s vehement dissatisfaction comes spewing out. All other websites have been harmonized. If you can\u2019t see dissatisfaction, does this prove a happy society? @HuXijin<\/p>\n

NiuniuLovesKaka: The mainstream you\u2019re talking about would be People\u2019s Daily, right? You should know, only on Weibo can you really sense the people\u2019s will. The People\u2019s Daily is just selling dog meat and calling it lamb.<\/p>\n
