For his latest contribution to his CDT series, cartoonist\u00a0Crazy Crab of Hexie Farm<\/a>\u00a0finds inspiration in the wood-block print The Great Wave off Kanagawa <\/a>by Japanese artist Hokusai. Responding both to the recent Beijing floods<\/a> and the riots over a planned pipeline in Qidong, Jiangsu<\/a>, Crazy Crab portrays the voices of the Chinese people as a huge wave. In this cartoon, past, current and future leaders of the Chinese Communist Party (Xi Jinping, Hu Jintao, Jiang Zemin, Deng Xiaopeng, Mao Zedong) are sitting in a dragon boat. The caption from Chairman Mao refers to the Beijing government’s declaration that the 7.21 flood was a natural disaster. (In the past, the CCP also regarded the Great Chinese Famine<\/a> as a natural disaster.) However, in Crazy Crab’s words, in the Internet age, a regime which depends on lying and propaganda is under the shadow of netizens’ voices.<\/p>\n
