Minitrue: All websites find and delete the article “Xinhua: What Kind of People are the Internet Writers Xi Jinping Questioned?” and related content. (October 16, 2014)<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Xi Jinping called on the nation’s<\/a> artists and writers to work towards promoting Party ideology<\/a> and reinforcing his concept of the “Chinese Dream<\/a>“\u2014yet another<\/a> political move tempting comparison<\/a> between the General Secretary and his predecessor Mao Zedong<\/a>. Both in content and language, Xi’s speech was evocative of the talks Mao delivered 70 years ago in Yan’an<\/a>, which forged the CCP’s view of the artistic endeavor.<\/p>\n

While addressing the crowd, Xi asked two young bloggers to stand and be recognized for their “positive energy”<\/strong><\/a>; the above directive prompted Chinese news websites to delete a Xinhua media profile of the two praised Internet writers. Bloomberg Businessweek reports:<\/p>\n

In a revealing moment, Xi asked Zhou Xiaoping, a well-known Internet blogger in his early 30s, and a second blogger, Hua Qianfang, also in his 30s, to stand up and be recognized by the largely older attendees. Xi praised Zhou\u2019s and Hua\u2019s essays\u2014known for their patriotism and anti-Western fulminations\u2014for having \u201cpositive energy.\u201d Zhou has recently gained notoriety for a particularly virulent essay entitled \u201cNine Knockout Blows in America\u2019s Cold War Against China.\u201d<\/p>\n

In that essay, Zhou savages the tendency of young Chinese to worship the West and accuses the U.S. of using the Internet and its cultural exports, such as Hollywood movies, to try to undermine China\u2019s social and political system. Zhou also attacks America as being viciously anti-China and defaming Chinese, he says, to a degree seen previously only in Hitler\u2019s vilification of the Jews. [Source<\/strong><\/a>]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While Xi showered Zhou and Hua with praise for their patriotic web conduct, an ongoing central government crackdown on social media has for the past year been working to silence “Big V” microbloggers known to post more critical commentary<\/a>.<\/p>\n
